PhD Thesis - Avatar-Based Innovation

Editor's Notes

  1. Welcome to my presentation and I really appreciate the opportunity to present my research in front of such an expert audience. My name is thomas kohler and I am currently a phd candidate at the university of innsbruck in Austria. Part of my research fits well into the context of this conference theme, part of it only indirectly, but I will try to focus on that part. What I would like to discuss with you today is the question of how companies have to design their virtual world sites in order to create a compelling experience for their users. There are a number of media characteristics that, I believe play a crucial for understanding the factors that constitue a compelling experience. Before diving in to these factors and sharing the results of the conducted research, I will give you some brief background information about my research topic in order to understand the research context.
