Leaning with Intent

Look of Your Avatar

Games are becoming more and more popular each year. If you take a look at games from the past and compare them to contemporary games, you can clearly see the difference in graphics quality. The exponential progress in technology allowed us to create games with very realistic graphics. I am even convinced that a lot of people play computer games, because they like how their in-game character looks like. They might feel insecure in real life; however, playing a game allows them to feel confident and this confidence might even affect their regular life. On the other hand, someone who tries to lose weight in real life is not going to like the idea of playing an overweight character. Games allow players to escape from reality, and that is why players often like to play a character that looks completely different from how they look like in reality. It is interesting to observe what looks a player’s avatar has. If you had a choice, what avatar would you create?

It is clear that more and more people create their virtual avatars and once more data will be collected, it will be interesting to analyze it and make some observations.
