[email protected] Abstract sociological significance. From reconstructions recording historical information about these sites a 3D Collaborative Virtual Environments (CVEs) realistic image of how these places might have looked in the past can be created. This also allows inhabiting have been widely used for preservation of cultural of these reconstructed spaces with people and artifacts heritage, also in an educational context. This paper for users to interact with. All these features can act as a presents a project where 3D CVE is augmented with valuable addition to a ‘traditional’ educational process mobile devices in order to support a collaborative in history and related subjects.
