I am participating in the Learning in 3D Reading Group initiated by @HansdeZwart. Despite time scarcity, it has been a great experience so far that enhanced greatly the value of the thought & action provoking book «Learning in 3D» by @kkapp and @Wadatripp compared to plain solo reading. Hopefully I will find time [...]
Ένα ακόμα βίντεο επίδειξης αυτής της συναρπαστικής τεχνολογίας τηλεδιάσκεψης μέσω προβολής και διάδρασης με τριδιάστατο ολόγραμμα απομακρυσμένου ομιλητή.

Μια συνωμοτική οργάνωση θέλει να καταλάβει την πόλη των παιδιών, διαγράφοντας την συλλογική ιστορική μνήμη! Οι μαθητές παίζοντας τους ήρωες του παιχνιδιού σε ένα τρισδιάστατο εικονικό περιβάλλον πρέπει να τους εμποδίσουν συγκεντρώνοντας ιστορικά στοιχεία και [...]
