ABSTRACT:
A system and method are provided for representing content made accessible by a group of users. In general, a group content representation that is descriptive of content made accessible by the group of users is presented to an interested user. In one embodiment, the users are represented by avatars in a virtual environment, and the group content representation is presented in a view of the virtual environment provided to the interested user. The group content representation may be presented at a fixed or dynamic location within the virtual environment. For example, the group content representation may be presented at a location relative to the avatars representing the group of users in the virtual environment. Based on the group content representation, the interested user is enabled to quickly and easily determine whether content of interest is accessible from the group of users.
