Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

We looked at three free Massively Multiplayer Online video games (MMO) for children: Wizard 101, Woozworld, and ToonTown Rewritten. We focused on three nonverbal areas: character design, gestures, and emotional displays. While looking into each of these games, we compared these non verbals, their contexts, and their meaning.
