چکیده
Wissenheim is designed as a virtual 3D-world for avatar-based leisure and learning. It is geared to offer a sophisticated alternative to violent and often pointless computer games. Students will go to Wissenheim to meet friends, to find learning material and to relax. Learning material is presented in the traditional web-style and as a collection of interactive 3D scenes illustrating selected topics from our computer science curriculum. Visiting avatars will be able to interact with the exhibits and with each other ... Wissenheim is currently implemented for a distributed Linux system and for our local cluster operating system.
