Second Life: A Virtual World with Real-World Impact
Second Life is an online multimedia platform developed by San Francisco-based Linden Lab. Launched in 2003, it allows users to create avatars and interact in a virtual world.
Virtual World
A Virtual World is a computer-simulated environment where users can interact through avatars.
These worlds offer a range of activities and can be populated by many users simultaneously.
Virtual Worlds are not just limited to games; they can also include social platforms and educational spaces.
They offer a unique blend of real-time actions and communication, often governed by rules that can either mirror or completely diverge from real-world physics.
