Description of the book

  • Title: Me, my virtual-self and I: self-identity within a virtual world
  • Author: Cardy, Andrew and
  • Publisher: VDM Verlag Dr. Muller

  • Supplement:

This book explores the extent to which immersion and interaction with an ‘avatar’ - a virtual character in a game - can influence the user's/player¿s perceptions of self-identity. The argument pivots on whether these avatars are simply tools,entry points into virtual worlds, or whether they are more complex extensions of the user’s personality and, if so, to what extent they may influence the ways in which we behave, perform and perceive ourselves in everyday life.
