Description

I. INTRODUCTION In recent years, the Internet has provided new options for individuals suffering from debilitating infirmities to enjoy their lives independently. Much of this has come from online commerce, such as Web sites, like Amazon.com, that sell products or services to people without them ever needing to leave home. However, games like Second Life and World of Warcraft have gone further, creating virtual worlds in which individuals, disabled or not, may enjoy virtual lives, sharing experiences, forming friendships, and starting businesses. For disabled individuals, virtual worlds may mean a life less hindered by physical disability and social interactions without stigma, increasing self-worth and independence.
