Office Space for SL-ECMM Structure

If you teleport to the second floor of the ECMM building in SL you will find office space. The ECMM office space consists of desks (shown below) but these are not your ordinary desk.

These desks include two computer monitors that can view both slides and video. Another nice feature of the desks is the Online Detector. This feature tracks the in-world presence of the avatar who owns the desk. If the avatar is in-world a display identifying the avatar is online will be hovering over the desk. If the avatar is online but not at their desk, a visitor can page the owner from the Online Detector connected to the desk. I see this useful if professors hold office hours in-world. Their students can see their online status and page them if needed.
