A 3D representation of Wikipedia. Each Article is represented by a room, each link by a door and corridor to another room.

Context

This small app was developed for demonstrating WebGL in a Computer Graphics course. Back then WebGL was very new and we had to install pre-alpha nightly builds of Firefox, since no Browser supported it.

Our team consisted of two students.
