Graphical Multi-user Environments
January 6th, 2008 by howardj
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.
