This tool provides an interactive visualization of the Wikipedia information space, primarily as a means of navigating the category hierarchy as well as the article network. The project is implemented in Java, utilizing the Java 3D package.

This was a student project in 2004-2005 at the University of Macau. This is the code from April 2005 that was finally uploaded to SourceForge in 2012 for archival purposes and to meet the demand from Wikipedia researchers world-wide.
