The Spacewalk Simulations STS-125 can be downloaded from here. Also, I would like to mention that this is an Immersive Education course taught at Boston College (ImmersiveEducation.org). Using his program, we can act as the members of the STS astronaut team, in order to perform the given task. The missions are usually having to find certain objects in the game, and the objects are shown on the right side of the screen. As the screen shots illustrate, many different points of views can be taken in order to aid the mission, and choices between AV1 and AV2 are also present. Using the mouse, exploring the space is almost as easy as that of Second Life, and the light tool is useful when exploring dimmer areas. Different ships have different missions, which gives the users an urge to explore the space further. Overall, this program was an outstanding example of using 3D to help educating visually.
