I am designing a “bubble boy” like suit that people can wear to protect themselves from the environment. It will come with gloves to interact with the external environment.
I will be researching information about second life. If there is any information you would like me to research other than what is posted please contact me by via email : teneyck2@buffalo.edu or post it and I will do my best to find it. Thanks

Looking to offset your carbon emissions? Wear a tree suit and bring more green into Second Life wherever you go!
I am designing a sewer maze in the sky where the players have to search it for 7 different recyclable items and bring them to the finish line. Watch out for the rats!
