Creating an Avatar

Virtual Visit’s multi-user capability allows your group in a computer lab, or in any other setting where you have access to a computer, to see others in the virtual environment. Create a customized character, or avatar, and select a name for it from a list (listed names appear as a visitor starts to type in letters). When your avatar enters the virtual Legislature, you may find other avatars in the building that represent other people who have also started a Virtual Visit from their computers.

Choose an Avatar

Start by choosing an avatar and deciding how you want it to look. You will see the avatar change to reflect the choices you make.

  • Use the arrows to cycle through a variety of avatars.
  • Use the arrows to cycle through clothing styles.
  • Use the arrows to cycle through hairstyles.
  • Click Yes or No to decide if your avatar will wear glasses.
  • Click on a colour or drag the plus marker to change the colour of your avatar's hair.
  • Click on a colour or drag the plus marker to change the tone of your avatar's skin.

Name Your Avatar

After choosing your avatar and clicking on continue you must give your avatar a name.

  • Start typing a name, and you will see choices appear in the list.
  • The more letters you type, the more accurate the choices will become.
  • To proceed, click on one of the choices in the name list.
  • If you don't see the name you want, choose a name from the list that is close to it.
  • When you have clicked on a listed name, a Continue button will appear. Click the button to begin your Virtual Visit!
