Virtual Worlds And Social Media

Virtual world is a computer-simulated, persistent virtual environment where individuals can interact with each other and the environment through their avatars, which are visual representations of themselves. Other common characteristics of a virtual world include scalable support for multiple users, open-ended or scripted content, and support of both synchronous and asynchronous communications. 2D virtual worlds focusing on the KT&T segment have been much more successful than 3D, adult oriented worlds. Consumer data confirm the popularity of virtual worlds among teens.
