Next Generation of Interaction 1960s Text 1980s Mouse 2000s Touch Today Virtual Reality ? Inspire. Empower. Collaborate.
3
Video: zSpace in Today’s Classrooms
4
Demonstration: Virtual and Augmented Reality
5
What’s in the zSpace STEM Package Full color, HD stereoscopic display with head tracking Unique stylus for virtual interaction Passive, non-tracked 2D conversion eyewear Passive, polarized tracking eyewear And a PC to drive it
6
In Every zSpace Package Franklin’s LabNewton’s ParkzSpace Studio
7
zView Share an experience Capture a video of your discoveries Annotation Share in real-time
8
Franklin’s Lab Complex concepts taught through meaningful application Electricity Circuits Motors
9
Newton’s Park Answer questions through trial and error, user-created experiments Newton’s Laws Projectile Motion Collisions, forces and friction
10
zSpace Studio Compare, contrast, and relate structure to function Over 1000 models to compare Tools for discovery
11
zSpace Studio Historical Artifacts Architecture Archaeology Human Anatomy Solar System Included in the Studio model gallery: Botany Zoology Technology Transportation Sculpture Full catalog of models available. Many models include curriculum guidelines and model-specific recommended activities.
12
Using zSpace Studio Print Preview Dissect Measure Cutting Plane Annotations Tour Builder Activity Builder Our latest STEM software has a number of new features to enhance the experience of interacting with 3D models in zSpace.
13
Print Preview Preview models for a 3D printer
14
Dissect Explore the internal and external geometry of models
15
Measure Measure objects based on real-world scale
16
The Cutting Plane Cross-section analysis both with and without internal geometry
17
Annotations Add labels and explanations to models
18
Tour Builder Create guided tours and presentations of models
19
Activity Builder Create your own lessons and guided activities, just like in Newton’s Park and Franklin’s Lab
20
Supports Design and Manufacturing Teaching Use existing tools Import 3D models Visualize and explore 3D Print Preview zSpace enhances student design and manufacturing skills Examples of supported import formats
21
Personalize the learning experience Teacher tool allows customization and building of activities Learning differentiation through activity questions and hints Advanced options allow teachers to create nuanced experiments How does a ball’s mass affect the speed of a falling ball? Question 1 Create an experiment with balls of different mass, roll them down ramps and measure the velocity of the ball at a common point. Does the shape of the ramp or a straight drop make a difference in the momentum? Question 2 Create an experiment comparing the velocity of a single ball when rolling down different ramps or falling straight down. How can you explain the different results? Question 3 Document in your lab book the differences in your measurements and hypothesize as to why they differ?
