We've written a lot about virtual worlds on Threeminds. Here's an interesting application that helps us experience our collective past. The Institute for Advanced Technology in the Humanities at the University of Virginia has collaborated to create a digital 3D model of Ancient Rome. Bernard Frischer, who led the project said, “This is the first step in the creation of a virtual time machine, which our children and grandchildren will use to study the history of Rome and many other great cities around the world.”
Sounds more fun than reading about Rome in an old text book!
