    I took a quick glance through the links trying to find the answer to one question: what does the 3D have to do with things?<\/p>\n

    I think it is natural when one thinks about “immersive environments” to use an analogy to 3D, but I would really like to see an insightful piece on what the 3D immersiveness adds, and what it makes more complex.\u00a0 I think 3D can be used as a crutch at times to turn anything into a ‘simulation,’ meanwhile, the 3D-ness only adds potential complexity in navigation and scenario construction.\u00a0 The 3D worlds people get opportunities to bring the technology back into spotlight in an effort to go mainstream, but I think we still have a ways to go instructionally in using simulations to teach, even without regard for the complexities that a real 3D environment introduces.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
