Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
The Electronic Encyclopedia/Exploratorium (E3) is a vision of a future computer system-a kind of electronic ''How Things Work'' book. Typical articles in E3 will describe such mechanisms as compression refrigerators, engines, telescopes, and mechanical linkages. Each article will provide simulations, three-dimensional animated graphics that the user can manipulate, laboratory areas that allow a user to modify the device or experiment with related artifacts, and a facility for asking questions and receiving customized, computer-generated English-language explanations. In this paper, we discuss some of the foundational technology-especially focusing on topics in artificial intelligence, graphics, and user interfaces-needed to achieve this long-term vision. We describe our initial prototype system and the technical lessons we have learned from it, as well as our second prototype currently under construction.
