Abstract

This paper presents a multi-user virtual heritage application that allows children to experience and learn the hunting strategies depicted in a cave painting from 6000 B.C. The application is based on a multi-touch vertical screen that allows for full-body interaction through carefully defined gestures that provide sufficient ecological naturalness and experimentation freedom to the users. This paper gives a detailed account on the experience and interaction design, agent programming and multi-touch technology.
