Abstract

In this paper we discuss issues concerning the development of interactive virtual reality (VR) environments. We argue that the integration of such type of environments with database technology has the potential of providing on one side much flexibility and on the other hand of resulting in enhanced interfaces for accessing contents from digital archives. The paper also describes a project dealing with the dissemination of cultural heritage contents. Within the project an integrated framework has been developed that enhances conventional VR environments with database interactions.
