The first is to test the efficacy of 3D objects as cognitive tools, tools designed to assist student realization that historical works are models, models that must be distinguished from the objects they represent.

Put simply, this study suggests historians will need to reāthink the aesthetics of their discipline. The purpose of this paper is to explore a specific implication that new paradigms of computing-especially those pertaining to 3D objects and 3D environments-will present for the discipline of history.

In the coming decades, the platforms and formalisms scholars employ to display, transform, and transmit information will continue to evolve.
