Immersive Libraries and Museums

The Libraries and Museum Technology Working Group (LAM. TWG) inform users about the virtua world and what can be done inside them. They are highly educational and play a huge role in Immersive Education.


Libraries and museums provide information on 3D photos, videos, and sounds. Scripts and writing are another factor as well. Because of these libraries and museums, people all over the world are able to connect with each other virtually. These virtual libraries can be compared to real life libraries, since both provide users with endless knowledge and information.


Another comparable factor with the libraries and museums is that they have librarians! These librarians are expected to be employed until further notice since they help update resources and keep the information and data piling in. Librarians play a crucial role with TWG just as much as they do at your local library.

To be a member, one must be a part of the Immersive Education Initiative and contain 1 of the 3 following: real library or museum experience, digital library experience, or experience creating virtual worlds. The 2 chair members of TWG are Jerome Yvarkovsky and Melissa A. Carrillo.

WebGL Chrome Experiments Using Google Chrome's Browser




Ok, this is probably one of the coolest things I have ever seen being that I'm a huge Lord of the Rings fan. This is the entire map recreated virtually and I could not be more baffled that this even exists. At first I ran through Rivendell leading the way with my green waves of magic. Next, I'm at the abandoned dwarf fortress known as Erebor trying to sweet talk my way out of getting killed by a giant dragon residing there.

Here is the link for Middle Earth:






Next up we have what is called Tunneltilt. This is basically a colorful maze that you have to steer through using the black circle at the bottom of both screenshots.

Lastly, we have what is called Hermit Crab. Basically it's a bunch of hermit crabs in a bucket of water. When you click on the link and look inside the bucket, you can see the hermit crabs squirming around and it's a pretty cool site.
