Virtual Machines for Virtual Worlds
Multi User Virtual Worlds provide a simulated immersive 3D environment that is similar to the real world. Popular examples include Second Life and OpenSim. The multi-user nature of these simulations means that there are significant computational demands on the processes that render the different avatar-centric views of the world for each participant, which change with every movement or interact...
متن کاملBehaviour-based identification of student communities in virtual worlds
Virtual Worlds (VW) have gained popularity in the last years in domains like training or education mainly due to their highly immersive and interactive 3D characteristics. In these platforms, the user (represented by an avatar) can move and interact in an artificial world with a high degree of freedom. They can talk, chat, build and design objects, program and compile their own developed progra...
متن کاملImmersive Virtual Reality, Presence and Engagement: What is the Pedagogic Value of Immersive Virtual Worlds?
This proposal for research sets out the purported generational and technological issues that might influence engagement with education in virtual reality. It examines the pedagogical questions that might emerge in the course of this research with particular reference to that of communal constructivist theory and information and communications technology pedagogy in online learning. The chosen r...
متن کاملA Virtual Tour Guide for Virtual Worlds
In this paper we present an implementation of a embodied conversational agent that serves as a virtual tour guide in Second Life. We show how we combined the abilities of a conversational agent with navigation in the world and present some preliminary evaluation results.
متن کاملVirtual Worlds for 3D Visualizations
This paper presents an analysis and discussion of visual information representations in multi-user avatar-based 3D virtual worlds. We discuss benefits and issues of such environments for displaying scientific and information visualizations. In comparison to traditional two-dimensional representation forms, virtual worlds can be used to display more dimensions of information and illustrate data ...
