== SCOPE ==

Cyberworlds are information spaces and communities that immensely augment the way we interact, participate in business and receive information throughout the world.

Cyberworlds seriously impact our lives and the evolution of the world economy by taking such forms as social networking services, 3D shared virtual communities, and massively multiplayer online role-playing games.

The focus theme of CW 2022 is Immersive Space Design.
