- To demonstrate this knowledge and understanding by developing a particular area of research interest and formulating a research question.
Literature review
This section is a collection of resources including content from books, journal articles, blogs, wikis and websites that contain information on web 3D immersive/virtual environments to help answer the following questions:
- What are web 3D immersive/virtual environments?
- Why were these technologies developed?
- How are they currently used?
- Can these be used for educational purposes?
Some suggested reading around the project topic.
