Empyreal Dreams, a different approach to Literature!

Featured in Second Life's Showcase, Empyreal Dreams is a very interesting sim. The result of the work of two creators, one based in England and one in the United Sates, it aims at creating a visualization of famous literature and poetry. It opened in November 2010 and it is a work in progress as more works are being prepared. When you teleport, you land in a Steampunkish teleportation area with several destinations available. Click the different posters to immerse yourself into the amazing world of words and how strong they can be.

The awesome photos were taken by London (applause!!) and you can read the beginning of each of the pieces of Literature featured right underneath the pics. London and I enjoyed this sim very much.
