[Opensim-dev] TSB Feasibility Study: Online Virtual Worlds for Urban Regeneration Consultation

[Nebadon Izumi]

Hello Ben,

You might be interested to know about the following project on the
OpenSimulator Forge called "OpenSIM GIS" [
http://forge.opensimulator.org/gf/project/osgis/ ] .  I personally do not
know much about the project other than what it does and that it is available
on our forge. Sorry I can not tell you more about the project, but I do hope
the link helps you.
