Summary:Working Through Synthetic Worlds explores different tasks that might benefit by being performed within a synthetic world.

Currently, their primary motivators appear to be fun and novelty. If synthetic worlds are to prosper the non-game-oriented worlds will need to facilitate business processes to a degree that exceeds their substantial costs for development and maintenance.
