SANTAMARIA GRANADOS, Luz  and  MENDOZA MORENO, Juan Francisco. 3D TOOLS FOR MODELING VIRTUAL SCENARIOS BASED ON LOGO. STATE OF THE ART. Cienc. Ing. Neogranad. [online]. 2009, vol.19, n.2, pp.77-94. ISSN 0124-8170.

This article reviews the tried pedagogical focus of LOGO (Papert, 2003), which also offers interesting motivational strategies for children in areas, such as a spatial skills development from their own exploration of virtual worlds. The original methodology was proposed by Seymour Papert for 2D scenarios. In fact, we analyze the possibility to integrate the LOGO teaching advantages with a 3D graphical interface by leveraging the technology provided by Web3D consortium standards. X3D also describes the components that allow the use of avatars (humanoid) to make easier user interaction in dynamic virtual worlds to count on extra characters of the LOGO turtle.

Keywords : LOGO; humanoid; extensible tridimensional; X3D; SAI; AJAX3D.
