note = "Funding Information: In addition to developing training applications with virtual environments, we have been creating educational virtual worlds. Project ScienceSpace, funded by the National Science Foundation and carried out in collaboration with colleagues at George Mason University, is providing interactive, immersive, multisensory environments for students of physics and chemistry. This figure shows a view of MaxwellWorld—a virtual world for the study of electrostatics. Students can build charge configurations and interactively explore the electric fields and potentials that they create. Surfaces of equipotential and trajectories of free charges can also be examined at will. Research with both high school and college students has shown that students using MaxwellWorld have superior mastery of critical concepts when compared with those using two-dimensional simulations with similar context.; 24th Annual Conference on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques, SIGGRAPH 1997 ; Conference date: 03-08-1997 Through 08-08-1997",
