A Virtual Actor can also be a person who performs a role in real-time when logged into a Virtual World or Collaborative On-Line Environment. One who represents, via an avatar, a character in a simulation or training event. One who behaves as if acting a part through the use of an avatar.
Vactor Studio LLC is a New York-based company, but its "Vactors" (virtual actors) are located all across the US and Canada. The Vactors log into virtual world applications from their homes or offices to participate in exercises covering an extensive range of markets including: Medical, Military, First Responder, Corporate, Government, Entertainment, and Retail. Through their own computers, they become doctors, soldiers, EMTs, customer service reps, victims for Mass Casualty Response training, or whatever the demonstration requires. Since 2005, Vactor Studio’s role-players have delivered thousands of hours of professional virtual world demonstrations, training exercises, and event management services.

Famous quotes containing the word business:
“The business of a seer is to see; and if he involves himself in the kind of God-eclipsing activities which make seeing impossible, he betrays the trust which his fellows have tacitly placed in him.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“It is hard to say which is the greatest fool: he who tells the whole truth, or he who tells no truth at all. Character is as necessary in business as in trade. No man can deceive often in either.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
