On the use of VRML in educational software: Experiences from the project: JIMM Problem Solver
To demonstrate why education and VRML-97 are a strong combination, the paper describes the needs of modern education for interactive applications with a great degree of freedom. Some arguments in favor of VRML, derived from the project JIMM Problem Solver, will illustrate the role VRML can play in education. Education, however, does need some features that are not yet offered by VRML. Finally some issues regarding the design of 3D-widgets are discussed. During the presentation the use of 3D-widgets in our project will be demonstrated.
