Visualizing user's personality and information in 3D environments, a step beyond avatars

In this paper we present an innovative approach to visualize people's personal information. The approach is based on the assumption that a personal environment, furnished by an interested and engaged person, expresses more about himself than a simple text or even an image or fixed animation. We consider this personalized living environment as innovative form of a Resume, created with the intention of giving a possible employer a good impression about both: hard facts and soft skills of the applicant. We describe a client-server-based system, which allows professionals to create their own personalized 3D Homepage as their Resume.
