Motivation and Scope

The first thematic issue of our 7th year (next year) will focus on a
literature review of 3D3C worlds according to specific topics. The issue
will connect with our JVWR workshop in Milan, Italy, on December, 15 (as
part of AIS ICIS
2013<http://jvwresearch.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=de4fa2a435382cb1fa67cb708&id=736c4472eb&e=1410976b30>).
(The issue will also be a base for a proposed book, where we will expand on
this theme.)

For this issue, “topical review” means a review of corpus of knowledge on
one aspect of virtual worlds. It can be a classic literature
review<http://jvwresearch.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=de4fa2a435382cb1fa67cb708&id=be48488479&e=1410976b30>,
a more formal statistical
meta-analysis<http://jvwresearch.us2.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=de4fa2a435382cb1fa67cb708&id=8b8510dffb&e=1410976b30>or
other forms suggested by authors.

For this issue, "3D3C Worlds" is defined as a combination of four factors:

   - *3D* as in three dimensional representation of worlds as seen in
   Google Earth, Augmented Reality, 3D printing and the like;
   - *Community* as in the collection of people work, play and act
   together. Consider Facebook and Twitter as one example, and enhance it by
   the dynamics of World of Warcraft guilds;
   - *Creation* is the ability to create new artifacts, as seen for example
   in Second Life or in Open Source movement;
   - *Commerce* is the ability to harness these previous factors to gain
   monetary real value (consider Bitcoin, exchanges, etc.)

The issue will be combined of three sections: Applications, Technologies
and Policies, each includes several papers:

   - *Applications*: Medical, Commerce, Defense etc.
   - *Technologies*: 3D, AR, Money, etc.
   - *Policies*: Standards, Privacy, Taxation, Legal, etc.

We have initial submissions in the following topics:

   - Collaboration
   - Medicine
   - Learning
   - ART
   - Taxation

Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

*Applications*

   - Defense related virtual worlds
   - Relations and Love and virtual worlds
   - Ambient Life
   - Music and virtual worlds
   - Virtual Worlds for Sales

*Technologies*

   - The state of GPU
   - Measuring virtual worlds
   - Sensors
   - Robotics
   - Virtual Worlds and mobile
   - Virtual worlds and the web  (HTML5)
   - 3D Printing

*Policies*

   - Economics and Virtual Worlds
   - Privacy
   - Avatar rights
   - Legal rights
   - Standards (open vs. close)

Submission Instructions

Interested authors should submit a two-page extended abstract by the
deadline indicated above. Authors will then be invited to submit original

p.s. Why Lantern?

The field of virtual worlds is vast, interconnected and expanding. In this
issue, we take a 'review' lantern and shed some light on some of the
fields' sides. Clearly, we will not cover everything. We will often see
shadows and not the full image. Ultimately, we hope to encourage further
exploring of the field.
