Hi, I think that the Virtual World is an excellent idea!! It's a great way to practice fluency techniques as well as practice speaking in fearful situations to gain confidence to approach those situations in the real world. But, I know that a person who stutters can practice something, such as introducing themselves or ordering a coffee, all day but when they come to the real life situations, the fear and anxiety overcomes them and they are still unable to get the words out. Do you think that this will carry over to real life? Also, how easy is it to use? Will people who are not especially good with computers find it easy and be able to do it?
