  1. 3D AnimationsinPhysics Education Dr. P. Vauterin Prof. Dr. H. Dejonghe

  2. Public Observatory “Armand Pien” • One of its missions: make science more popular amongst school children (Flemish government grant) • Use astronomy as a way to raize interest in physics/sciences • How to offer something exiting in the age of TV/Internet? 3D... Context of this project • over 100 short, interactive educational animations • - Several 3D educational shows (with voices + music)

  3. 2 data projectors, 2 different polarisers, non-depolarising screen, spectacles Estimated hardware cost: Projectors=2x800€ + Filters=2x125€ + Screen=1100€ + Computer=1200€ + viewers=100x0.5€ = 4200€ Software (developed internally):real-time 3D rendering (2 viewpoints), OpenGL based Setup: Used hardware: 2 x DELL 2400MP projectors Silverscreen + polarizers + silverscreen : from company More3D(www.more3d.com)

  4. Why useful in physics education? • Powerful visualisation of complex systems • Visual impact: better to memorise (seeing is believing) • Perfect to be viewed by large adiences (<-> physical models) • Interactive = encourages exploration Relatively cheap (permanent) installation + integrates well intoauditorium infrastructure: 1 projector can be used for 2D ! Cheap, foldable viewglasses: students can keep them aspart of their “equipment” Switch between 2D & 3D almost seamless

  5. !!!! 3D Time !!!!
