The Classics in Virtual Worlds

Virtual worlds provide a natural environment for the interdisciplinary and interactive exploration of literature and the classics. By creating virtual immersive 3d exhibits, participants can literally step into storybooks or the world of the classics. Research has suggested that courses and other sessions relating to the classics held in such environments help engage and stimulate the minds of the audience. sLiterary’s Classics in Virtual Worlds initiative helps provide well-created virtualizations of the classics for both recreational and educational purposes.
