Spatial Social Behavior in Second Life
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have developed software bots that inhabit the popular online social environment SecondLife (SL). Our bots can wander around, collect data, engage in simple interactions, and carry out simple automated experiments. In this paper we use our bots to study spatial social behavior. We found an indication that SL users display distinct spatial behavior when interacting with other users. In addition, in an automated experiment carried out by our bot, we found that users, when their avatars were approached by our bot, tended to respond by moving their avatar, further indicating the significance of proxemics in SL.

متن کاملResearch Bots in Second Life
Since SL is a commercial product, we do not have access to statistical data, and it is unlikely that such data would be made public by Linden Labs (the company behind SL). Thus, we have developed automated software bots that are able to wander around SL and systematically collect data. In addition, we have built these bots to have some social capabilities of their own; this allows them not only...
