Second Life® > virtual world

• virtual worlds are not themselves games (Austin & Boulder, 2007)

• virtual worlds are persistent virtual environments in which people experience others as being there with them - and where they can interact with them. (Schroeder, 2008)

• multi-user or collaborative or shared virtual environments are environments or systems which users experience other participants as being present in the same environment and interacting with them – or ‘being there together’(Schroeder, 2006).

“definition focuses on sensory experience”

Second Life® > o que é

• “Second Life® is a free to use 3D multi-user virtual environment,

it is immersive, and it is imagined, designed, built and created by

its residents (avatars). Second Life® is a playground for our

imagination, a limitless platform - design, build, code, perform

and collaborate, expanding the boundaries of creativity. It is a

real life simulator, allowing all sorts of experiences and studies

(from every field of science, humanities and art), all in a safe and

controlled environment.” (Loureiro e Bettencourt, 2010)
