Clouds were added with 'let's add some clouds,'' which was refined as altocumulus clouds, a different type than the default that appeared at first. 'Let's add an island over there,' resulted in a small island appearing in the direction the avatar's hand pointed. The results of all of these verbal descriptions appeared within the scene almost immediately. A second person, also appearing in the virtual space as an
