http://communications.nottingham.ac.uk/News/Article/Understanding-interaction-in-virtual-worlds.html Wed, 23 Dec 2009 "...The Virtual Environment Real User Study (Verus) will explore the relationships between the real-world characteristics of gamers and the individual activities and group dynamics of their avatars in online virtual worlds. Investigating how individuals interact within online environments will have many benefits. ...Verus researchers will recruit volunteers and observe their gaming activity at multiple locations worldwide. The studies will take place in computer laboratories, Internet cafes and other popular gaming environments. In these settings, researchers will interview and track the volunteers as they play online in virtual worlds such as Second Life and World of Warcraft, as well as in other virtual environments that have been specially designed for the project.

No worries, if they approach you just say you *work* in Second Life instead.

As long as they continue to think that I am JUST PLAYING, they'll never understand.
