Abstract

We report an implementation of GeneSys, which is a Web information integration system on 3D virtual space. We have built Kwansei Gakuin Kobe Sanda Campus as a virtual space called VKSC in which character agents navigate a user. VKSC reflects the Web information concerning weather, school calendar, and laboratories in the campus and the behaviour of agents changes depending on the information. Conventional Web systems mainly aim at providing information and knowledge to users, but GeneSys can additionally provide virtual experiences to users.
