Abstract

Internet-based learning platforms facilitate, usually, exchange of text, image, and movie files, while higher education in design-oriented domains needs support in not only exchanging design related 2D drafting and 3D modeling files but also enabling collaborative real-time drafting and modeling interaction. In this context, multi-user interactive interfaces employing game engines offer a framework within which prototypes for Internet-based academic education in architecture, such as Protospace, have been successfully implemented and tested.
