Furthermore, I changed the skybox in a higher qualified mode. However, it still looks not clear enough. I tried to make the size of the zone smaller to make the skybox clear but doesn't work. I also adjust the cushions position. Because of the land was moved a little bit higher than before, some of them were hide in the land. So I re-put the cushions and all of them use well!

Today I tries to backup the sandbox to another computer.
I found three files in This PC. The Hidden Items should be seen.
C:\Users\hkj8918\AppData\Local\High Fidelity
C:\Users\hkj8918\AppData\Roaming\High Fidelity
C:\Users\hkj8918\AppData\Roaming\HighFidelitySandbox
When I copy these files to another computer, I found that the most important one is C:\Users\hkj8918\AppData\Roaming\High Fidelity. All of models in sandbox are backup in this folder. Others are not so necessary that wouldn't make any changes on your sandbox in another computer.
Furthermore, the skybox still looks like a box. I create a question in Hifi Forums and somebody replied me but still about the edges. All of the solves are about to adjust the edges and makes them combine well. I done this part good, however, it still looks like I am in a box but not environment. Maybe I didn't describe the requirements very clear.
Last, the question about visit others' domain has also be put forward in Hifi's blog. They said we just need to update the HiFi. Maybe this is a way we could try.

I made a higher quality skybox which is use the Auckland night as texture. It's looks really cool! However, I still working on how to make the skybox shows like a sphere. It's always look like a box and really annoyed me a lot.
Furthermore, I found the documents which may include the folder of HiFi sandbox. I will try to backup this folder and move to another computer to test is that possible to move all my works as well.

The problem didn't solved today. I still could not visit simona's place.
Furthermore, we tried to backup and restore the sandbox. We found the folder and copy them to another computer but it doesn't work! I think the sandbox should not in the High Fidelity folder. Maybe in somewhere far away from the main folder.
We also found some clothes models and we are going to build another cloth shop which could bring more teaching materials in the virtual world.

I made the skybox in blender and import to the HIFI.
First step is to make a cube in blender. Selected some points and marked seam. Then unwrap it and change the view from 3D View into UV/Image Editor. It will look like this.
Next Step takes me lost of time to make the picture looks like attached below.

It is so hard for me to cut the picture into this size and keep it look clearly as original pic. I tried lots of ways to edit the pic and doesn't work! At the last time I tried Photoshop. I had never use this App before so I spent a long time to cut the pic.
Then put this pic into blender and adjust the size. Add textures and export as fbx. model. Which model should be used into skybox in Hifi confused me a lot and finally chose the one I usually used. Remember, the texture should be copied when you export the model.
Last step is upload the skybox into Hifi. It just need to create a zone and only upload the texture which you copied before. Then open the properties and paste the url of the texture into the skybox url.

The good news is coming!
We've almost done the Fish and Chips shop! I made a bottle of coke, however, there still have some problems with the textures. Every time I wrap the coke texture on the model, the hole model turns red. Anyhow it is a low poly world, I gave up to wrap the texture and paint the model as red color. When I complain how difficult to make the texture looks good and I gave up to make it, she downloads the coke model from the internet! How convenience it is!
Furthermore, she got some lights to make the house looks brighter and made an advertisement on the wall. We also make the menu for the deep fried fishes and downloaded a cash register from another website.
We showed this shop to Darryl and he gave us lots of good suggestions. Such as making a New Zealand style fish and chips--use the newspaper but not plates, putting a sign above the door, making a New Zealand scenery skybox, making some trees or bushes which are very special in New Zealand.
Therefore, the next step is to complete fish and chips shop to makes it better and create an environment which is similar to New Zealand.

Until today, we have done the main part of the Fish and Chips shop. Simona found a really good house and a counter from the website and they are free! Nobody knows how difficult to find a free model from the google! She also done a part of menu. For me, I did some dishes of fried fish, potato chips and kumara chips. For tomorrow, I plan to make some bottles of coke, sprite and fanta. The hardest part is to make a light and I really need it to make the inside of this house looks not too dark. However, I just could use the light which provided in the Market. I could not build by myself. I think it should be the light rely on something which is an object not insubstantial. Furthermore, I would like to make a board shows the words or sentences which could be used into this situation.

Last week I read some articles and view some webpage. All of them are about New Zealand style English. I found some interesting words and slangs. Such as Kiwi means New Zealanders, a kind of native birds, also a kind of fruit. Haka means Maori war dance which commonly used by national rugby competitions.No worries means that's ok or not a problem.
For today, I discussed with Darryl and Simona about how the learning materials used into this space. As I thought, it could be a path with different Steps which includes the introduction, what knowledge will be learned in this space and different situations. In a different situation, there is a board shows the words or slangs and a situation which is a site to learners that they can use the words or slang into the conversation/dialogue.
For the first situation, it will be a fish & chips shop.
We also try to make a sitting script in to HIFI and already download some chairs from market. Some of them are work but some doesn't. We try to paste the zone which works well in the first chair and put it into second one. But when we go into the second zone the avatar always sit in the first chair. It should be the parent ID's problem but it doesn't work when we change it.
The other progress is the teleport. Once I always creat a Box to make the teleport. It could works well but looks so ugly and terrible. So I tried to make a zone to become a teleport point and it works! So we can make it become a beautiful teleport which could also shows where this teleport point will going.

I complete the interview questions, participants advertisement, participant consent form, and participant information sheet. However, the information sheet is really complicated that there are some questions I don't know how to complete.
The other thing is I go some website and search the ''kiwi style English'' to get some ideas about how to make the learning materials useful and easy to use. I need some time to think about it and need more readings.

After talk with Darryl, I found that it is quite complicated to make the content as English culture and Kiwi things. I have to change my PGR1 and Ethics. It's really a huge work and I need to do a new literature review. So the content should still about language. As we discussed, I chose to make it as English teaching but it's more about Kiwi style such as Kiwi style pronunciation, how kiwi use the word or sentence to make it in another meaning or to express one thing in another way.
For the space design, we decided to keep the adventure style. The main land will design into the road through the different knowledge point.

I had discussed with Simona about what are we going to teach in this Virtual World and we decided to make it looks like an adventure experience.
At the beginning, people will teleport in to the Welcome. The instructions will be showed on the wall which will find out easily. This instruction will include the name of this space, what are we going to do, the aims(which kind of knowledge people will learn from this space) and how to complete this "class". After that, there will be showed a road or several roads and "class" is begin.
For the "class", there will be divided into different parts. Each part will include different part of knowledge and some small quiz. People can follow the guidance to learn the knowledge and complete the quiz. They also could decide which part they are more interested in and learn first.
In this learning space, people can learn by themselves. But we will also put the tutors contact details in an area for students when they need helps.
Then we denied the thoughts we have before which is going to teach language. It is quite difficult and not interesting to teach grammar in this situation. So we decided to introduce some culture and KIWI things about New Zealand.
Hope everything will goes well.

The color problem was solved!
I just put the different materials in different visible layers and paint them separately. Then join different parts together in another visible layer.
This is the island I build and I've already upload it into HIFI. This could be teleport center in this space.
