Social perspectives are centered on the effects of using digital media on the body, but most studies tend to focus on health issues. Most biodigital studies are found, which see the body from the perspective of Biology and Health. Other studies from a demographic perspective is also found, such as, the relation between the use of information and communication technology (ITC) and the body. The previous study is about digital body as the horcrux of extended-self in post-human era. The study identified what is (social) digital body definition. It is based on one's media social activities. Yet, there is no reseach found about digital body in other media such as online game as a virtual reality.

This research also define the characteristics of online game avatar as: Controlled-Dematerialized Self, Reembodiment Self, Social-Supportive Self, In-Group Oriented Self, and Cosmopolitan-self.
