These are also called visual chat rooms because they add graphics using virtual reality technology. Sometimes the graphics are flat and sometimes they are 3D. The user moves an avatar (graphic representation of the user) around a graphic environment, like a video game. Some environments incorporate multi-player games and others are used for educational purposes. Some will even allow the user to “build” their own spaces. Some use audio and video communications so that users can hear and see each other. Some people find these enhancements cumbersome though and prefer to chat without them.

Chat rooms, or chatrooms, are any form of communication through text messaging to people in real time. When you send a message in a chatroom, anyone who is a member of that chatroom and is online can read it and respond to it immediately. The kinds of chatrooms include Instant Relay Chat, talkers and havens. Many people began using text based chatting, or IRC, due to AOL or web chat sites. Some text-based chatrooms, called graphical user interface, even allow the user to select an identifying icon and to personalize the look of their chat environment, the screen on which they view messages.
