Summary

Worlds inhabited by numerical creatures which seem to be alive are in construction. These virtual worlds, with graphics and animations in realistic three dimensions, are equipped with their own physical and biological laws. These synthetic universes will be able to be familiar, copying the real life, or to astonish us from its singularities with the world which surrounds us.

This document is given for objective to present notions of virtual, the evolution of these worlds, their development, their applications, but also their dangers
