This document discusses a project called the Skinningrove Jetty Project led by Steve Thompson at the Institute of Digital Innovation Teesside University. The project used animation in virtual worlds to involve the community of Skinningrove and local schools in designing and building a new jetty. It describes how the virtual jetty design was presented to the local mayor and council members, who visited the virtual construction and were invited to support the real-world project.
