Become a character when you visit the Forbidden City


Create yourself as a character when you join "The Forbidden City: Beyond Space and Time" and you can explore the Forbidden City of China, talk with other "explorers" of the city all while learning more about Chinese history. It resembles Second Life and other of those multiplayer video games. A dozen member team at IBM spent the last two years creating the city in in virtual 3D along with events your character can "participate in such as cricket fights and archery practice.

From the web site:
The Forbidden City: Beyond Space and Time is a partnership between the Palace Museum and IBM. The goal of the project is to provide the means for a world-wide audience to celebrate and explore aspects of Chinese culture and history.

You can use this website to learn more about the project, or click the button below to visit the Download page where you can view the requirements for experiencing the Virtual Forbidden City.

If you register to join the Beyond Space and Time community you will be able to participate in forum discussion and gain access to enhanced features in the Virtual Forbidden City.

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy.’ They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.~ John Lennon
