We are a group of students from Aalborg University in Denmark.

As a part of our current studies we are doing this survey regarding the communication and the new form of interaction within 3D virtual worlds. Our project is focused on the avatar, not the real-life user, so the questions are very straight forward and of course completely anonymous.

Many of the physical gestures, we make in real-life (e.g. facial expressions, and ironic remarks etc.) are difficult to translate into Second Life. Which make the communication hard to perceive.

Our goal is therefore to improve the tools of communication in Second Life, as well as on the Internet itself.

The questionnaire consists of 20 questions and will therefore take not more than a few minutes to complete.
We thank you in advance and remind you once more, that survey is completely anonymous.

Best regards

The survey appeared mostly harmless and quick; good luck with your studies.

You should probably contact Linden Lab following their research ethics policy, but having taken the survey I can't imagine them having issue with it.

I hope your survey and studt go well. It would be interesting if you let us know the results and/or any conclusions rendered from what you are doing.

I agree that the survey was painless yet had to really think about some of the answers. Good luck to you!

Hope it goes better for others than for me.

The survey locked up on me when I tried to go back to prvious, and wouldn't let me restart.

I think you might need to error check the buttons (I was not using browser features to go back).
