Virtual Reality

Second Life is a virtual world that allows people to build almost anything and invite the world in to experience it. It has its own economy, and some people have built worlds that include working model ecosystems. Because it includes community, an economy, and ecosystems, it present interesting possibilities to explore the interaction between the three. Interview with creator of Virtual Reality eco-village in Second Life, Etopia. Some of these virtual worlds are already having real world effects, such as this one for the rain forest. Adding techology such as the Wii to interact with rich virtual worlds give them additional potential, including training.
