Strengths Movement Island

In this project for Jennifer Fox, author of “Your Child's Strengths”, The Wishfarmers conceived and produced an environment in Second Life based on the her “Strengths Inventory” system.

The cornerstone of the project was the “Strengths Machine”: A “quiz- based” interactive system which leads users through the process of discovering their own strengths in the dimensions of learning, relating and interacting with others.

On completion, the Strengths Machine generates a specific “outfit” themed for each of these attributes, which users can wear on their avatar. It also creates a personalized “Inventory” web page with their profile snapshot and details of their Strengths Inventory.

As always, I conceived the project, guided my team creatively and technically, and implemented the server- and client-side systems.
