    The world's first virtual-world-to-real-world exhibition gallery! The Tech Virtual Test Zone is a new area in the museum showcasing the world's first hands-on, interactive exhibits conceptualized and developed originally in the virtual world of Second Life®. These new exhibits are the result of The Tech's virtual exhibit design initiative and competition, called The Tech Virtual, which was launched in December 2007 and aims to revolutionize the way new museum exhibitions are developed.

    The Tech Virtual Test Zone is a prototype exhibit area that will consistently feature virtual-world-to-real-world exhibits on a specific theme resulting from The Tech Virtual program. The first theme featured in the Test Zone is "Art, Film & Music", which is also the theme of a new permanent gallery that The Tech plans to launch by 2010, featuring some of the people and innovations from Silicon Valley that have contributed significantly to this field. Come to The Tech to see and experience these unique exhibits for yourself! Or visit The Tech Virtual in Second Life, and participate in our ongoing exhibit design challenges.
