Virtual Worlds
•MOOs that were highly oriented toward creative tasks and programming objectives were called multiuser shared hallucinations, or MUSHs.

•Some virtual worlds let participants interact with each other almost as they would in real life.
•
•In a GUI virtual world, each participant assumes a virtual physical existence and appearance.  Such an artificial person is called an avatar.
