The applications that FHW has produced, associated with the Olympic Games in ancient Greece, are then detailed. The separate virtual reality shows are presented in terms of interactivity and educational value. Technical aspects of the productions are explained, with an emphasis on surround screen projection environments. These techniques were mostly utilized in the recent production regarding the ancient Olympic Games, where much effort has been made to recreate the feeling of the games and help the user/spectator be an interacting part of the edutainment activity. %@ 3-540-29673-5
