These developments create opportunities for ER research to reach\nnew audiences by increasing accessibility. In this work, we introduce two\nweb-based tools we have built to facilitate the exchange of ideas with other\nresearchers as well as outreach to K-12 students and the general public. The\nfirst tool is intended to distribute and exchange ER research results, while\nthe second is a completely browser-based implementation of an ER environment.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1406.3337v3","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1406.3337v3.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"evolutionary-robotics-on-the-web-with-webgl","repo_url":"https://github.com/jaredmoore/WebGLVisualizer","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
