MUDs Grow Up: Social Virtual Reality in the Real World
نویسندگان
چکیده
MUDs, or “Multi-User Dungeons,” are programs that accept network connections from multiple simultaneous users and provide access to a shared database of “rooms”, “exits”, and other objects. Users browse and manipulate the database from “inside” the rooms, seeing only those objects that are in the same room and moving between rooms mostly via the exits that connect them. MUDs are thus a kind of virtual reality, an electronically-represented “place” that users can visit.
