Illustrations

[TXT] A: Office

 This illustration shows an office. In the upper left corner you will find a blackboard available for showing illustrations, models, text etc. The person behind the desk is "the referent bot", but could have been anyone person, e. g. Plato. You can lead a normal conversation with the person using natural language. This situation could e. g. have been a guidance session.

[TXT] A2: Office2

This illustration shows the office again, with one difference. The user is here represented as an avatar. The avatar performs the user actions.

[TXT] B: Class

This illustration shows a class. In front of the room is a blackboard. The tutor is in this case an alien. Right in front of you is a digital piece of paper and a virtual pencil for taking notes and writing questions. Other students are participating in this class. These are either verbots or other persons logged in to the same system as yourself. They can also ask questions and participate in the class in the same way you can.

[TXT] B2: Class2

This illustration shows a further development of the same class. In the upper right corner the tutor is carrying on with explaining, while you float through space to have a closer look at the planets.

[TXT] B3: Class3

This illustration shows the same as B2, but the user is here represented as an avatar.

[TXT] C: Discussion group

This illustration shows a discussion group. In the upper left corner you will find a blackboard. The persons participating in the group are from the left Jean Paul Sartre, Ludvig Wittgenstein, Sylvie (a fictive expert in Social Anthropology), "the referent bot" and Aristotle. You can lead a normal conversation with these persons using natural language. Right in front of you you will find a digital piece of paper and a virtual pencil.
