Taking a 2D educational title into 3D

Maturing software for creating real-time interactive 3D (3D/VR) and hardware enabling its delivery give us the chance to explore practical issues involved in making commercially viable 3D/VR content. In October 1996, The Learning Company released the educational title Logic Quest, built using Sense8's WorldToolKit software. One of the first commercial 3D/VR children's titles for Windows 95, Logic Quest provides an example of what is involved in converting a 2D title (Think Quick!) to 3D. Studying the process the company followed lets us evaluate some of the challenges and benefits of moving a 2D title to 3D.
