Virtual worlds like Second Life have exploded with the rise of the Internet. Interacting in a virtual world means you need to have an avatar, a virtual representation of YOU. But how many people actually make their “virtual” selves look similar to their real selves? I dare you to compare!
Hair down, hair up. Let’s look at the avatars now.
This is my avatar from a manga avatar maker. (see above)
Here is my South Park avatar. (see above)
Try as I might, it was impossible to look good as a Simpson’s avatar. (see above)
And finally, my avatar in Second Life. (see above)
Given the chance, would you try to improve on your real self or try to make your avatar really look like you? One person on Second Life who tries to make his avatar look like himself is David Warlick.
What would YOU do?
