Abstract
In this paper, we seek to explore the potential for virtual hermeneutics to study immersive virtual world experiences. It is proposed that a responsible translation of hermeneutic philosophy to methodology can ensure validity of interpretations through ethical and transparent decision making. Ultimately, it is hoped that virtual hermeneutics will become a valuable, and much needed, new tool in the virtual world researcher’s toolbox.
