Abstract
In this paper, we present a three-dimensional virtual system which visualizes some interesting rooms of the University of Debrecen and makes the most cherished and carefully guarded treasures of the Collection of Rare and Early Printed Books of the University and National Library of the University of Debrecen virtually available. Our system is based on the Virtual Collaboration Arena (VirCA) developed by the Cognitive Informatics Research Group of the Computer and Automation Research Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.
