Operated by TERC on behalf of the Regional Alliance, the Hub houses articles, curriculum, newsletters, projects, reports, and software. Hub services can help you join or start a networked community, publish on the Internet, or conduct custom information searches. Some of the areas in which VRML is being used include architecture, scientific visualization, and geography. Chad Kearsley, Humanities Research Assistant at the IAT, has been exploring the use of VRML in education. The free service is searchable and will be updated monthly.
Users can link directly from one patent abstract to related documents in the database.
