What are virtual worlds?

Virtual worlds are three dimensional environments in which you can interact with others and create objects as part of that interaction. How do you do that? You appear as an avatar in the virtual world: an avatar is a virtual representation of you (a ‘virtual ego’) which can take on any shape or form as you so wish.

There are a range of virtual worlds to choose from which include fantasy, sport, historical and science fiction. Some are loosely based upon the real world but others such as fantasy worlds are as the name says: they are completely disconnected from the real world which is also part of their attraction.

With virtual worlds, men appear as a chosen Character and vice versa. Some people choose an animal as their alter ego. Whatever you choose the aim is to socially interact with other people in new and exciting ways. This all adds to the experience.

You can communicate with another person using text, sound, graphical images and gesture. Some of the more advanced worlds allow you to use voice or touch.

Examples of virtual worlds

There are several types of virtual worlds which include:

Second Life (most popular)

The Sims

Active Worlds

Kaneva

IMVU

The common theme with many of these worlds is the ability to entertain, meet, chat and interact with other people. Every world must continue to exist even when someone has left and any changes made by a person should remain in place.

Some but not all of these virtual worlds allow multiple users.

Games are an obvious use of these environments but they are not limited to this. Virtual worlds have been used in other ways such as education and research. One such use is a ‘virtual classroom’ which is based upon interaction and allows students to try new things in a safe environment. Ayllon Castle Virtual Tours ACVT Service © 2020.
