I moved the thread to a new subject line
( since you changed the subject ) to:
Here's the summary if the above link fails:
Java3d gives you fast 3d rendering that is portable
across Windows, Linux, SGI IRIX and other platforms
that professional animators have been migrating to
( Shrek, Pixar's Toy Story, etc have migrated to Linux
for rendering ).

| The Blackdown Java-Linux Team is happy to announce
| the availability of Java3D 1.3 for Linux on i386:
|
| The Java 3D API enables the creation of
| three-dimensional graphics applications and
| Internet-based 3D applets.
|
| It provides high-level constructs for creating
| and manipulation of 3D geometry and building the
| structures used in rendering that geometry.
|
| With this software, you can efficiently define
| and render very large virtual worlds.
|
| Requirements and installation instructions can be found at

|
| Application: Edu-link Virtual World
|
| Area: 3D Educational Content
|
| Description: Our web-based application seeks
| to provide teachers with educational curriculum
| content in a real-time 3D environment format.
|
| Navigation is first-person, with interactive,
| animated, fully-textured and lighted geometry and
| moderate quality 3D audio.
|
| Our application is only available to a limited
| set of beta-testers at this time, so no web-site
| is currently available
|
| Web Address: Not at this time.

Your KnowledgeBoard sounds like a good "Web Friendly"
soltion that doesn't make "Unfriendly" demands like
requiring people use software from the Monopolist
or as SAIC points out, dangerous & risky schemes:
