"Chimerium" was an interactive VRML environment that was commissioned for the InfoArt Pavilion of the Kwangju '95 Biennale site in Korea and designed in collaboration with artist Perry Hoberman. The installation was simultaneously available to visitors at the museum and to WWW users on the internet. The "Chimerium" is an example of an interactive Virtual Experience recently designed for the VRML format and internet delivery platform. It was developed to allow interaction between visitors at an actual location and remote users participating from Internet nodes around the world. The installation allowed all local visitors to experience the virtual world on monitors and on a large projection screen. At the same time, remote visitors on the internet could experience the same 3d world through a VRML 'WebSpace' browser that also provides access to related links and materials about the world and it's inhabitants. This virtual world was inhabited by different kinds of "Chimera", virtual animals that move with unpredictable motions around a constantly changing environment. Visitors can also select different POV experiences associated with different animals.
