Abstract
This review will focus on the current level on chemistry research, education, and visualization
possible within the multi-user virtual environment of Second Life. We discuss how Second Life has
been used as a platform for the interactive and collaborative visualization of data from molecules
and proteins to spectra and experimental data. We then review how these visualizations can be
scripted for immersive educational activities and real-life collaborative research. We also discuss
the benefits of the social networking affordances of Second Life for both chemists and chemistry
students
