   I have been reading some of the work GCU does on virtual learning environments in healthcare and I wondered if someone there might be interested in a conference on the subject being held in Prague in 2011.

   Hello Im Pyewacket and i manage Stelarc in sl. You may know of him, if not please google! we are involved in all sorts of projects and presentations, some of which involves Second life.
   Stelarc often uses medical research in his work.
   At present we work from Melbourne, Australia but have strong ties and work with Universitys throughout the UK, as Stelarc has a chair at Brunel University.

   At present I am trying to implement a better Pandora bot within SL. this is based on his ‘Prosthetic Head’ AI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCSKppW8Bt4 SO far, in SL its only text based. I was pointed to your video on youtube with text to speech and robotic avatars. This is great and of vast interest.

   Would you be interested in sharing your work? Stelac gives presentations in rl (and in SL) often so full credits be given and your work shown to a wide audience. Please let me know either way or any ideas you may have concerning this.!

   thank you for your time . here is also the SLURL to the Stelarc gallery in SL which is a great visit (showing some video of the ‘ear on arm’ surgical procedure which may be of interest to you!)
