What will change in the world because this Project happens?
- Thousands will find local services like food, shelter, jobs
- Thousands of web users will be more aware on homelessness
- Access to immediate information for the displaced available
- 10 people will start new businesses
- 20 people will imagine and build their new virtual home
- These 20 people will become peer mentors for another 20.
After building their virtual homes, the 40 virtual world participants will be able to tell us whether they feel closer to being able to design a RL reality that includes a home.
Their findings will help determine whether virtual worlds like Second Life are an appropriate tool for people to use in redesigning their lives.
