As a result of this project, a fully functional
3D virtual environment has been
created. The purpose of this virtual island
is to find a way that enables older
people to find new friends and be in
touch with friends and relatives.
As a result, virtual places like the Café
with announcement panels, the video
streaming, the private houses, the learning
area, the gaming area, the beaches,
the bus stops and the exhibition area
have been created on the 3RD-LIFE
island.
The final evaluation showed that the final
version of the island meets End-users’
needs especially concerning social
interaction. Based in these findings, the
positioning of the island in the market
segment is very promising; in fact, there
are some companies that have shown
their interest in this island.
