Players in Warhammer Online: Age Of Reckoning demonstrate distances in MMORPGs.During Week 7 I borrowed E. Hall's 'The Silent Language' from the University library. I completed reading the book over the course of the week, and the source analysis report I wrote as a result can be found here.
"E. Hall's 'The Silent Language’ is an interesting source describing the myriad aspects of culture. While the book is probably required reading for anthropologists, I at first struggled to find meaning within it as relating to games design. Nonetheless riveting, it was only as I approached chapter ten, ‘Space Speaks’, which discusses from a Western point of view how distance affects communication. Within a three-dimensional space such as our level, this is integral."
