hello folks,
I got this off several of my lists, and thought any of us could use it for
explorations and just a new way to say hi to folks.
I herd of this second life virtual world quite a while back, but the clients
were not accessible, so had no way to poke my nose, or other parts into it.
well, someone is trying to remedy this, so here's the original message and
the URL for the accessible access client (*Note: right now it's geared for
jaws only, though other screen readers may... work with it as well)
have a blast,
the elf

Hi,
The university of nevada in Reno recently developed an application
called TextSL which allows visually impaired persons to access the popular
virtual world of Second Life using a screen reader. A beta version
of this application can be downloaded for free on: http://www.textsl.org
We are looking for volunteers who would be willing to participate in
user studies in the Spring semester of 2009.
Sincerely, Eelke Folmer
