Abstract
Virtual reality can support edutainment applications which seek to provide an engaging experience with virtual objects and spaces. However, these environments often contain scripted avatars and activities that lack the ability to respond or adapt to the user or situation; intelligent agent technology and a semantically annotated 3D world can address these problems. This paper shows how the use of agents and semantic annotations in the ISReal platform can be applied to the virtual heritage application involving the historic fortified town of Saarlouis.
