Each year the students in the Building Virtual Worlds (BVW) class at Carnegie Mellon University's Entertainment Technology Center put on a unique event that showcases all of the best worlds that were created during the semester.
In the building virtual worlds class, students are assigned to a new group every 2-weeks and asked to come up with an idea and create a virtual world from scratch with the hopes that their worlds will be make it to the show.
