| − | A virtual world is a computer-simulated environment which may be populated by many users who can create a personal avatar, and simultaneously and independently explore the virtual world, participate in its activities and communicate with others. The user accesses a computer-simulated world which presents perceptual stimuli to the user, who in turn can manipulate elements of the modeled world and thus experience a degree of presence. Such modeled worlds and their rules may draw from reality or fantasy worlds. Example rules are gravity, topography, locomotion, real-time actions, and communication. Communication between users can range from text, graphical icons, visual gesture, sound, and rarely, forms using touch, voice command, and balance senses.

It uses Amazon [https://aws.amazon.com/rds/aurora/ Aurora] and Amazon [[SageMaker]] for cheating detection but can be adapted to other databases with similar capabilities. We'll utilize the recently-launched Aurora machine learning functionality, which allows game developers to add ML-based predictions using the familiar #SQL programming language without building custom integrations or learning separate tools. We'll show which ML algorithms are useful for cheat detection and how an anti-cheat developer can write a single #SQL query that handles the inputs and outputs for the algorithm. |

A virtual world is a computer-simulated environment which may be populated by many users who can create a personal avatar, and simultaneously and independently explore the virtual world, participate in its activities and communicate with others. The user accesses a computer-simulated world which presents perceptual stimuli to the user, who in turn can manipulate elements of the modeled world and thus experience a degree of presence. Such modeled worlds and their rules may draw from reality or fantasy worlds. Example rules are gravity, topography, locomotion, real-time actions, and communication. Communication between users can range from text, graphical icons, visual gesture, sound, and rarely, forms using touch, voice command, and balance senses. Wikipedia

Decentraland
The project started with Esteban Ordano and Ari Merlich, both very experienced folks on Blockchain and high end technology and did a very successful job creating and pushing the idea. Now the project is managed by the Decentraland Foundation, a new entity that is focused on listening to the community needs. Most of the team is in Argentina.

The Sandbox
The Sandbox project was initially started in 2012 on mobile platforms which to date have gathered more than 40 million global installs on mobile devices. Their 100-people strong team behind has over 15 years of experience making games. Over the past 3 years, The Sandbox team has been developing a new version of the game – this time as a 3D, multiplayer platform using Blockchain technology (Ethereum) to offer a virtual world where players can build, own, and monetize their gaming experiences. This is the version we are comparing today.

- Microsoft Flight Simulator returns as a mind-blowing next-generation cloud showcase Microsoft Flight Simulator looks to disrupt the genre with cloud-backed gameplay on a global scale. | Matt Brown - Windows Central
- Microsoft’s new Flight Simulator is a beautiful work in progress | Frederic Lardinois - TechCrunch
Microsoft Flight Simulator has an important role to fulfill as a serious tool for the real-life aviation industry – but that doesn’t mean it can’t find time to dazzle gamers, too. The technology that makes Microsoft Flight Simulator tick is something truly special. A mash up of Microsoft’s map data from its Bing search engine, artificial intelligence and cloud computing, the result is simple: this game’s ‘map’ is the whole world. ...hile there are bugs and mistakes created by the AI that fills in the details, its hyper-accurate version of the world is stunning. ...This means that while your house might not have the exact right shape, it will be there – represented by an AI-generated approximation. This means up-close and personal things might not be exactly accurate – but bigger buildings are more likely to be closer to reality. The AI will also fill in details like trees and determine what is liquid, adding foliage and telling the game where to place its realistic water to create rivers, ponds and the ocean. Once you’re in the skies and gain a proper altitude, the less-accurate elements of the AI’s work disappear from view Microsoft Flight Simulator is nothing short of astounding | Alex Donaldson VG 24/7
Flight Simulator will populate the world with animals and roads with vehicles, water will flow realistically based on wind direction, grass will have individual grass blades and trees will have individual leaves, creating the illusion of a living world. The game world will include over two million cities and towns, 1.5 billion buildings, 2 trillion trees, and 37,000 real-world airports. Wikipedia

- Colleagues – working time zones apart – come together digitally. Their common understanding helps them review data faster and arrive at more informed decisions.
- Train together anywhere - co-workers duplicate the serendipity of in-person learning – without the time and cost of travel – thanks to holoportation, holographic sharing, and visualization.
- Get remote expertise - specialists can see others’ perspectives and overlay contextual data to ensure shared understanding. It’s a better way to solve problems and make decisions together.
- Design together in 3D - team members’ ideas and creativity flourish as they participate in design reviews using several devices. Whether physically present, or holoported, colleagues can collaborate on content in real-time.

Ready Player One | Ernest Cline
A teen searches for a hidden treasure in an expansive virtual reality universe in 2045.
A.I. Artificial IntelligenceDirector Steven Spielberg's A.I. propels you into a future of astounding technology and adventure beyond the human imagination in an extraordinary film the New York Observer hails as a "masterpiece" and Rolling Stone applauds as "unmistakably the work of a real filmmaker." In a future world of runaway global warming and awe-inspiring scientific advances, humans share every aspect of their lives with sophisticated companion robots called Mechas. But when an advanced prototype robot child named David (Haley Joel Osment) is programmed to show unconditional love, his human family isn't prepared for the consequences. Suddenly, David is on his own in a strange and dangerous world. Befriended by a streetwise Mecha (Jude law), David embarks on a spectacular quest to discover the startling secret of his own identity. Celebrated as a film "filled with visual wonders and astonishing special effects..." ConsciousnessConsciousness at its simplest is "sentience or awareness of internal or external existence". Despite centuries of analyses, definitions, explanations and debates by philosophers and scientists, consciousness remains puzzling and controversial, being "at once the most familiar and most mysterious aspect of our lives". Perhaps the only widely agreed notion about the topic is the intuition that it exists. Opinions differ about what exactly needs to be studied and explained as consciousness. Sometimes it is synonymous with 'the mind', other times just an aspect of mind. In the past it was one's "inner life", the world of introspection, of private thought, imagination and volition. Today, with modern research into the brain it often includes any kind of experience, cognition, feeling or perception. It may be 'awareness', or 'awareness of awareness', or self-awareness. There might be different levels or orders of consciousness, or different kinds of consciousness, or just one kind with different features. Other questions include whether only humans are conscious or all animals or even the whole universe. The disparate range of research, notions and speculations raises doubts whether the right questions are being asked. Examples of the range of descriptions, definitions or explanations are: simple wakefulness, one's sense of selfhood or soul explored by "looking within"; being a metaphorical "stream" of contents, or being a mental state, mental event or mental process of the brain; having phanera or qualia and subjectivity; being the 'something that it is like' to 'have' or 'be' it; being the "inner theatre" or the executive control system of the mind.
