Croquet Projects

1. Croquelandia (Watch Movie 1) – Croquelandia is the first synthetic immersive environment for learning Spanish pragmatics. The movie shows an example of a Croquet world – the environment, the avatars, the look and feel, interaction methods, movement etc. Features highlighted – collaboration interaction, scaffolded imbedded feedback, asynchronous message board, voiceover IP, synchronous message chat, authentic simulated interaction and quest completion tracking.

2. Edusim (Watch Movie 2 and 3) – Edusim is an educational simulation prototype created using Croquet. Movie 2 is an introduction to Croquet use with an interactive whiteboard and Movie 3 shows kids working with Croquet on an interactive whiteboard.

Detailed information on the projects listed below can be found here. It is a listing of what various people have been exploring using pre-release Croquet technologies.

3. Collaborative for Croquet
Since Croquet is presently in the form of a software developer’s kit (SDK) and not yet an application that can easily be used by end-users, it is not possible for just anyone to create a world. ‘Collaborative for Croquet’ is an croquet-based example application to allow people with a non programming/ developer background to experience a Croquet world.

4. Arts Metaverse Project
Within the Arts Metaverse, users can create 3-D environments that could include buildings or spaces developed alongside their related video and audio clips, websites, and Microsoft PowerPoint presentations. Also see this posting.

10. Ancient Spaces
Developed in Arts Instructional Support & Information Technology at the University of British Columbia, ‘Ancient Spaces’ is an ‘open-source’ project that aims to deliver immersive, three-dimensional historical environments to your computer via the Internet – allowing multiple users to interact with artifacts, structures, and historical characters within an immersive and compelling virtual space.
