Zircus
video sketch for a learning environment and online community
1993
Strohecker, C. (Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories)

      In this design, real-time networked 3D graphics, speech recognition and generation, natural language processing, artificial agents and digital video support learning in a virtual world. Visitors create and inhabit avatars who converse with each other and with the agents. They also make structures and creatures to populate the rolling landscape. The zoo/circus portrayal sets the theme for learning activities in the realm of motion study, such as animal locomotion, stilt walking and juggling.
