The explosion of storage media size, and spreading of theinternet in the last decade resulted in a huge amount of imagesand multimedia material an average user has to dealwith. Traditional use of filenames and directories is just notsufficient any more. In contrast to the keywording and somekind of content based image retrieval, we introduce a novelapproach of storing and retrieving images, and other multimediamaterial using indexing by placing mechanism. Theidea is to let the user place the images in the 3D environment,where the user can find the images easily again. Theimages can be collected, modified, grouped together,... Theprinciples described in the paper are implemented in the 3DWunderkammer system which is a multi-user client-serverapplication. The server is completely written in Java andthe client runs in a standard Web browser with a standardVRML plug-in.
