Avatar and arthritis
But the other important thread Biocca is pointing to is the way in which experiences in virtual worlds can actually reshape users sense of their bodies (and, I would take the argument further, their selves).
As on user recounted when talking about the relationship between his avatar and his corporeal body, “When my arthritis is not acting up and I can move freely, I sometimes lengthen my stride and move purposefully through malls and shopping centers the way I think he [his avatar] would."

Dags att göra färdigt det sista med min Research Proposal. Nästa virkprojekt blir kanske babyskor till Ida och hennes pyre? Vi funderar på saken.
