Vizerra is a very interesting project that has great potential for use in World History and World Geography courses. Vizerra provides downloadable 3D models of famous places. All of the models offer users a tour of their selected site. Currently, there are five models and tours available on Vizerra. Vizerra aims to have a total of thirty 3D models and tours available for download by the end of 2009.

Applications for Education
Vizerra has a lot of potential for use in a World Geography and or World History course. The models and tours will provides students with ability to explore at their own pace. If you don’t want students downloading content (or if your network administrator doesn’t allow it), download the 3D models to your own computer and use them as a part of an instructional lecture.
