Intraverses

Education, or more specifically training in the enterprise environment is proving a rich opportunity for virtual worlds, especially when developed in internally hosted environments (often referred to as "intraverses"). Scenario based role playing is well established in the business world and the public sector, and any scenario which involves potential risks to individuals (such as military training or emergency evacuations), high costs (such as civil defence scenarios), complex environments where the outcomes are non-trivial (such as disaster or famine relief) or take a long time to play through (such as aid programs) is a prime candidate for transfer to a virtual world. Other options take advantage of the lack of constraints in the virtual world compared to the physical. The ability to explore inside a molecule, or to fly through outer space, or get inside confined spaces to see what is happening are all huge opportunities for virtual worlds.
