Xerox Innovation Island on Real Biz in SL
Aaron Hunt, SMB Marketing Manager, did a “behind the scenes tour” of Xerox Innovation Island for SLCN’s Real Biz in SL show. The interview was streamed live last Monday, and is now available for viewing in the SLCN archives.
The tour gives a good sense of some of the ideas we have been playing with (though Aaron did a good job of steering the reporters away from the secret areas 
) so take a look if you’re curious.
Showing the Wall o’ Cool Places
I also want to highlight that while we’ve built stuff ourselves on the island (or commissioned others to build things for us), much of what is shown are freebies (including the large building shown towards the end of the tour) or things that we simply bought in-world. Being able to access the output of the SL creative community, really enables us to setup things like the orientation/game area very quickly.
The arm wrestling game is useful for socializing, teaching how to interact with objects in-world, and to resolve disputes.
Xerox Innovation Island is likely to remain accessible to Xerox employees only, so many thanks to Cybergrrl Oh and SLCN.tv for giving us this opportunity to show off our space!
This sounds fascinating. I can’t wait to learn more.
You really should look into participating in the ThinkBalm Innovation Community if you have a chance. A lot of cutting edge thought happening. Checkout my most recent blog entry on my experiences with the community thus far…

This is amazing, and we hope that it will be open for Xerox distributors like us , who are far away to share and learn more through interaction – well done to the innovative team of Xerox , great idea – all the way from Sri Lanka
Rukshan – you are certainly welcome to use the island. If you have a Second Life avatar, send me an IM (JonasKarlsson Xerox), and we’ll get you setup!
Dear Jonas,
Good day to you, from Sri Lanka.
We are in the process of opening a technology center, in partnership with Xerox. the concept is of Lumen technologies(the only distributor of Xerox in Sri Lanka). why technology center, thats because the name Xerox is yet to catch in , and the brand it self was negative when we took over the partnership. its a unique concept center, where we also educate youth about analog/digital technology, xerox innovations. therefore appreciate if you also could give your teams comments, as to how effective we can use technology ,
Rukshan,
If you send me an email (Jonas.Karlsson AT xerox.com), we can talk more.
here is my email

Good day
