Virtual Universe : A realistic, three-dimensional cyberspace and virtual reality simulation

The "Virtual Universe" is a realistic, three-dimensional cyberspace and virtual reality simulation. People can meet, interact with each other, build houses and whole worlds, simulate workflows, test designs, and much more. Due to its extensive programming interface, this virtual reality environment can be used for scientific and engineering tasks such as simulation and visualization applications. It also includes a terrain generator for virtual landscapes and the Java XTools, an extensive package that contains several enhancements and improvements for Java3D and Swing.

Vis/Space : A client-server system for visually exploring data structures in 3D virtual space

Vis/Space is a client-server system for visually exploring data structures in 3D virtual space. It allows the placement of various data sources in a three-dimensional environment. Custom search terms can be entered into a query field, or can be navigated to and from an existing object. All objects like images and "text screens" can be moved around. A single click on an image shows the full-resolution version in the foreground. Whole collections of images can be moved. A click to the cube also toggles among several different possible layouts. Data sources include search engines, microblogging, Wikipedia, image/video search, and 4chan.
