Vivid Educational Experience with Virtual Reality

In this paper, we present an educational system that represents cultural heritage virtually. The system contains an editor for specifying the educational scripts which will be displayed at Augmented Reality and Mixed Reality. The editor is a very simple application interface for Augmented Reality and Mixed Reality developers. It is a useful and easy-to-use tool for editing educational scripts for augmented reality and for exporting X3D files from the developer´s input. The X3D files permit the generation of the augmented reality world. Augmented and Mixed reality permit real and virtual world to be combined. This interaction is done in real-time. The editor enables developers to facilitate their work, that is creating educational scripts of augmented reality. A web service requests (a) the localization of the user that is found by the device (PDA) which the user utilizes and (b) the user preferences that desires to get informed (political data, cultural data etc). After these data are specified, the web service provides information and scenarios to the user according to his preferences and to the sight where the user is located (found according to his location). The user can interact with these scenarios, living historical immersive experiences virtually.
