Designing Virtual Worlds

Many years ago people already started dreaming about the possibility of virtual worlds. Some older sci-fi movies sometimes try to depict such virtual worlds; however, if we look at the times we live in we might be able to observe that virtual worlds already exist. Currently, they exist in the form of massive multiplayer online games. Such games allow users from all around the world to connect to one game world and interact with each other and with the environment. Virtual worlds do not yet feature any neural connectors or any other elements from sci-fi movies, but who knows how virtual worlds will look like in 20-30 years.
