If you have not done so already, visit some Web site that offers tours of 3D virtual worlds. Record your experiences. Discuss

a. Length of time to download and install the player
b. The process of learning to navigate the world
c. Download times for the virtual worlds.

The answers to this question will vary, depending on the complexity of the virtual world, and the player required. Most players are not too difficult for a CS student to install, but most of them are in the 2-8 MB range, so downloading the player takes time. It will also take some time to learn how to navigate the world, because the controls differ from the controls found on common video games. For all but the simplest world, the download times are not trivial.
