Cosma / Communication / Knowledge / Navigation / Worlds / Web
A key goal of Cosma is to provide 3D interfaces to enable spatial Knowledge Navigation of the Knowledge Resources on this and other sites.
The pages of Cosma have links to many thousands of the best resources on the Web.
Immersive 3D and 360° experiences are among the most valuable types of resources, and so there are links to thousands of them distributed across the hundreds of pages on the Web site.
Unfortunately, links to amazing experiences blend in with more mundane links on each page (Wikipedia, Library of Congress, Open Courseware, JSTOR etc.).
Web Worlds provide visual links to bring attention to from ten to twenty of the the most engaging and immersive 3D and 360° experiences related to a given subject.
They are made by creating spaces in the virtual world SecondLife, capturing 360° photos of those spaces and uploading them to the 360° image sharing service Kuula to overlay links to Cosma pages and the many great 360° and 3D immersive experiences on the Web.
There are many Web Worlds distributed across the pages on the Cosma Web site.
This is Cosma’s main Welcome Area were you can start your journey into knowledge!
