(Full Title) Avatar Interactions: Simulation and Role Play in Second Life

Location: Thwing Center 1914 Lounge at Case Western Reserve Unviersity 

Panelists: Anita Alexander, Jeanne Hitch, Thomas Nosek, Sue Shick

The panelists will discuss novel uses of the 3D virtual world of Second Life in simulation and role play. Avatars in Second Life are 3D characters that are representations of oneself. Avatars can talk, walk, dance and even fly. Can experiences we have as avatars translate into changes in our real life experiences? How will the use of CWRU's private Second Life environment expand the use of simulation and role play where an extra layer of privacy is needed?
