Second Life

 Second Life is a 3D world that is developed for social purposes. In Second Life you can create your own avatar and start playing and wandering around. There are many places to be explored and many people to be met.

It can be very useful for language learnes as they can interact with other people who speaks English or other languages. And also it will be an outstanding experience for them.

Instead of viewing a screen in front of them, users are immersed and able to interact with 3D worlds. By simulating as many senses as possible, such as vision, hearing, touch, even smell, the computer is transformed into a gatekeeper to this artificial world. The only limits to near-real VR experiences are the availability of content and cheap computing power.  Lots of companies started to produce VR headsets such as Google, Oculus, Sony.
