The Fashion Research Institute Community Gateway in Second Life™ is a Linden Labs approved entry point to Second Life. The Gateway was specifically created to help personnel from the creative industries to become acclimated to and learn to use virtual worlds, as well as to seek out new job opportunities within both the real world and virtual worlds.
The Gateway includes self-guided tutorials for new entrants to learn to use virtual worlds. Topics include learning to move through the virtual world; customizing avatar appearance; dealing with communities within Second Life; and learning to use the content development tools provided in Second Life. Once you have learned to use Second Life, explore the islands to learn about career opportunities and jobs in Second Life and in industry.
The Gateway is sited in a visually lush development full of trees, butterflies and birds, making it a particularly appealing entry point. All are welcome to enter through our Gateway. If you don’t yet have a Second Life account, the Gateway link will take you first to a page where you can register. Then just follow the instructions to download Second Life, and log in.
We look forward to welcoming you to Shengri La!
