Sex-Interface-Aesthetics: The Docile Avatars and Embodied Pixels of Second Life BDSM
Anyone paying the slightest attention to virtual worlds knows that sex is a major part of them, in particular, more fetishized forms of sex, including cyberstripping and escorts, furry sex (sex between humanoid-animal avatars), and BDSM. Virtual world sex is ubiquitous, appearing in fantasy-themed commercially created worlds such as World of Warcraft [9; 15]. But sex, especially fetish sex, com...
متن کاملModeling Spatial-Temporal Context Information in Virtual Worlds
Currently, we use many definitions with diffuse boundaries: Web 2.0 (Social Networks), Web 3.0 (Semantic Web), Web 3D (Metaverses, Virtual Worlds, Mirror Worlds), Recommendation Systems, Augmented Reality, Geo-location... In this paper we explore the possibilities of the combined use of these concepts, we introduce the concept of VARD (Virtual Augmented Reality Device) and show interoperability...
متن کاملComparing the Growth Dynamics of Real and Virtual Cities
Virtual cities were first conceptualized in science fiction literature. They were popu‐ larized by cyberpunk authors such as Neal Stephenson and William Gibson and their tales of vast “metaverses” and “cyberspaces,” composed of bits rather than atoms, sprawling like megalopolises (Stephenson 1993), towering with information skyscrapers (Gibson 1984), with firewalls crafted to resemble medieval ...
متن کاملXPU: A Distributed Architecture for Metaverses
A significant problem of designing 3D virtual worlds (such as metaverses) is developing a scalable architecture that can manage millions of simultaneous users in an interactive 3D environment. This paper presents XPU (Extremely Partitioned Universe), a hierarchical client-server architecture for developing highly scalable metaverses. This design addresses the problem of dynamically partitioning...
متن کاملA Scalable Server for 3D Metaverses
Metaverses are three-dimensional virtual worlds where anyone can add and script new objects. Metaverses today, such as Second Life, are dull, lifeless, and stagnant because users can see and interact with only a tiny region around them. Current metaverses impose this distance restriction in order to scale to large worlds, as the restriction avoids appreciable shared state in underlying distribu...
