At the time, platforms like Second Life were touting the advantages of an immersive navigable world. I argue it’s because the cognitive overhead of virtual worlds means that there has to be a sustained value proposition, and that came from when you truly need 3D immersion and social. .

In other words, the social experience extends beyond the specific event. How much you feel connected to them varies greatly.
