The Army Family Support Center provides information for families of deployed soldiers. It is built in the public ActiveWorlds virtual reality universe, and a completely free nonprofit endeavor. The Center uses the information room concept. In essence, an information room consists of virtual objects as a sign or picture and each of these, when selected, opens a webpage. The Center provides more than just simple information. Unlike a webpage, it is built in a virtual reality environment where more than one individual can participate in the experience. This enables users anywhere in the world to interact with each another, form personal relationships, share experiences, point out resources, and problem solve. Its greatest advantage is the elimination of travel and distance. The Center also provides teleports to a large number of other information rooms. The users validate resources thereby enhancing the relevancy of data presented.
The Army Family Support Center is part of the Federal Virtual Worlds Challenge. It is undergoing evaluation by representatives of the U.S. Army Research Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM). Army wives are welcome to join the tours. The site is expanding and seeking web resources used by Army wives. New resources will be added to the center. Please send any links to VR4RourPC@aol.com Special guided tours are available on request. Davison Associates will build a unit or base specific information room on request for free and set up one or more signs for content posting (announcement) controlled by the user.
