Abstract

Abstract: The paper reports work in progress on the analysis and visualization of chat log data collected in 3-dimensional (3-D) virtual worlds. In particular, it presents an analysis and visualization of six log files containing chat utterances from 32 people that attended a demonstration of different learning environments in a 3-D virtual world. We start with an introduction and a review of research in 'social visualization'. Subsequently, we introduce the 3-D online browser technology used and present the analysis and discussion of chat log data. The paper concludes with a discussion and an outlook.
