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 the law is to make sense of the confusion of what we call human life—to reduce it to order but at the same time to give it possibility, scope, even dignity.”
—Archibald MacLeish (1892–1982)
“We are told it will be of no use for us to ask this measure of justice—that the ballot be given to the women of our new possessions upon the same terms as to the men—because we shall not get it. It is not our business whether we are going to get it; our business is to make the demand.... Ask for the whole loaf and take what you can get.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
