7. Meaningful Interaction
 three key problems in designing
virtual environments that in some
way depict the values of past
cultures.
 The first problem is how to create a
feeling of immersion or of presence
in a virtual environment
 reality is / may be at odds with
understanding the past or a distant
place from a local perspective.
 If we do manage to create an
engaging and believable virtual
environment, will the novelty or
entertainment value actually impede
the knowledge gained by the users?
