2. Avatars

There are many avatar worlds: Black Sun - - - Worlds, Inc - - - ActiveWorlds,

But I will talking about only one of these today, the one I am most associated with, OnLive Traveler. For those who haven’t used it before, OnLive is the most social of the avatar worlds. It uses emotive lip-synced avatars where you feel you are really there and talking to people.
