| Abstract | Working Through Synthetic Worlds explores different tasks that might benefit by being performed within a synthetic world. The term 'synthetic world' refers to a subset of virtual environments, having a large virtual landscape and a set of rules that govern the interactions among participants. 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. |

| AbstractList | Virtual environments (VE) are human-computer interfaces in which the computer creates a sensory-immersing environment that interactively responds to and is controlled by the behaviour of the user. Since these technologies will continue to become more reliable, more resolute and more affordable, it's important to consider the advantages that VEs may offer to support business processes. Working Through Synthetic Worlds explores different tasks that might benefit by being performed within a synthetic world. The term 'synthetic world' refers to a subset of virtual environments, having a large virtual landscape and a set of rules that govern the interactions among participants. 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. |
