After much toil, I finally finished my thesis, User-Centered Design in Virtual World Interfaces: A Human Factors Perspective on Third-Party Second Life Viewers at the end of April and was awarded distinction after my defense.  As promised, I will soon be sharing the results with the SL community.  At the moment, the thesis is currently under review for publication (so I shouldn’t post it here), but if you’re interested in reading a draft, contact me and I’ll send you one.
