VWs are used for communication, education, community building, creative arts, and more. A good deal of research has been conducted into learning and VWs, but other areas remain ripe for investigation. Factors from technological platforms to the nature and conventions of the communities that use VWs must be considered, in order to achieve the best possible interaction between virtual spaces and their users. Making Sense of Space focuses on the background to these issues, describing a range of case studies conducted by the authors 410 0$aChandos information professional series. 606 $aVirtual reality$xSocial aspects 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aVirtual reality$xSocial aspects. 676 $a006.8 700 $aKuksa$b Iryna$0620208 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464538603321 996 $aMaking sense of space$92491068 997 $aUNINA
