Week 8: Part 2!

Being both a 3d Envionment interaction user and a IM user it is clear to see some of the differences between the two. Though when interacting in a 3d environment your character does not look anything like you, I believe it becomes more personal and users get more involved in 3d envionments. It allows people to express themselves more then just having a chat name and picture. By being able to see a 3d character of the person your talking to it gives a more real vibe then IM programs. Social envionments in a 3d world are alot more intense then that of a simple IM program and I believe more emotion becomes involved. Because of this I also believe that in time 3d worlds or interaction will become more and more popular and simple IM programs will fade out.
