Abstract

The increasing development of three-dimensional environments for the World Wide Web and of three-dimensional educational software demands a better understanding of children's navigation in virtual 3D environments. This work will compare navigation mechanisms between children and adults to identify and model prerequisites which will allow children to navigate effectively in such environments.
