In the virtual world, there are four types of nonverbal cues: User-Defined, Predefined, Blended and Missing cues. This time I explore only one
gesture defined by the computer--sitting, at different places and scenario. First, I walk into a two-floor house and try every place that allows people to sit.
From the picture we can see, this is a lounge. You have eight choices to sit down. The sitting gestures do not have gendered difference and all of them
are set in relaxed states, such as curling the knees and half lying on the couch.
The next one is like a reception room. I believe sitting in a softly lit room and
looking at a cluster of glowing candles makes us feel peaceful and cozy. There is
only one sitting gesture here, which is elegant and suits for both male and female
avatars.
Then I go up to the second floor and find a bedroom. Beside the bed, there is a
sling chair. Once inside, I think sitting there will have a great view of the
beautiful scenery out of the window. After I click the button, my avatar sits down
and really turns to watch the outside. The designers do well in the details!
In front of the house, there is a wide area placing two beds. Three choices for
women and three choices for men. The women's sitting gestures look lovely and sexy,
while the men's are casual and handsome.
The second place, I move back to our AUT place. Only two chairs here and then I ask
Sunya to do me a favor. Therefore, I find there is no difference between male and
female sitting here. The gesture is very normal and stiff.
At last, let's have a funny comparison. In the first picture, I can't believe a
girl can sit like that on the ground, especially wearing a skirt, so rude~ the
second pic is the right posture in life. Actually, we shouldn't expect too much
in a place for studying, lol~
By the way, I find another function for SL during the process of screenshot.
backgrounds and adjust the angle to take beautiful snapshots.
