A Avatar is an artificial person or a graphic deputy of a genuine person in the virtual world, for example in a computer game.

The word is derived from the Sanskrit. There Avatara "“descent"” means, what refers to climbing down a divinity into terrestrial spheres. The term is used in the Hinduismus mainly for Inkarnationen Vishnus.

Avatare are otherwise possibly represented for example in form of a picture, Icons or as 3D-Figur of humans or a nature. The use of the term Avatar in this connection was made popular for 1992 by Neal Stephenson in its Science Fiction novel Snow Crash.

In panels of the Internets the user picture is likewise called Avatar, similarly the 3D-Figur in a virtual world. Frequently the registered users of a forum have the possibility of high-loading or from a list of selecting a picture, which it then represented and which is indicated beside their contributions in this forum.
