Virtual Dictionary
Interocular Differences Interocular difference refers in VR to a disparity between the distance between the eyes physically, and the distance between the optics of a stereoscopic viewing device. As a result, the stereoscopic images from the viewer do not line up perfectly with the eyes of the user and a stereoscopic distortion occurs, causing the eyes to focus and compensate unnaturally for the blurring of the image.

Antz, made in 1998, was a milestone in CGI. The first film to use actual facial musculature instead of manipulating expressions directly, this is also a thoroughly enjoyable film, and a great way to showcase how the seemingly normal, can make for a wild world ? with only differences of scale.
One of the strangest things you notice with social virtual environments, where you have vast numbers of people coming and going, and using the exact same software to visualise the virtual world, is the sheer number of amazing, unduplicatable-by-anyone-else problems that are encountered.
This short article, written in response to a forum post at another site, whose origin is, sadly, unknown, expresses the need of Role-Playing gamers to present a united front by embrasing differences between gamers, rather than suppressing, or ignoring them.

It has taken a few years, even with the increased hubbub (and rightly so) about cyberbullying, where the internet is used to harass and bully an individual rather than physical bullying. But researchers are finally starting to take note that physical bullying and (current) cyberbullying are not the same thing. Both can be devastating, but the very different mediums mean that different methods must be used to tackle the two.
