The virtual world known as Second Life exists only in cyberspace. The characters, known as avatars, who inhabit the world's computer screens, are each guided by a real-world person. Among the millions of people who enjoy the elaborate game, there are many disabled people who find themselves interacting online in ways they cannot in real life. And there are experts who are working to make the simulated environment more accessible to the disabled. VOA's Shelley Schlender reports.
I wish I was in this world. I havw been handicap since I was 14. Now I'm 20. Im glad im a college student. People who are "normal" dont understand what we have to go through.

Fascinating. Your avatar can always do more than you can, even if you are not disabled. But what a great thing for these folks.
