Description

Explore the impact of computer-based, simulated environments with Synthetic Worlds: Emerging Technologies in Education and Economics. This volume, part of the Integrated Series in Information Systems (33), examines the phenomenon of virtual worlds and alternate realities where users interact through avatars.
