]]> BreakAway Ltd. bought the license for a project, funded by Federal government in Texas and developed by Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, regarding a virtual learning platform for medical training: Pulse!!
This is what Dr. Claudia L. McDonald has to say:
“Through our collaboration with TAMU-CC to develop a platform solution for teaching and training medical professionals, we realize the urgent need for medical organizations to augment their traditional training methods with game-based technology such as Pulse!!,” BreakAway CEO Doug Whatley said in a statement. “We are honored to be able to use Pulse!! technology as the starting point for delivering virtual learning tools to supplement medical training using a simulated 3D world that replicates the actual physical and emotional environment that medical professionals face whether it’s in a hospital, clinic or on the battlefield.”

This kind of tool is very interesting, despite Second Life is still too primitive, too slow, and not enough detailed to support such things… but time will come.
