  4. Sponsor • Mike Eisenberg: Professor • Grant: “Geometry on a Sphere: An Interactive Exploration of Non-Euclidean Ideas for K-12 Students” • Mike MacFarrin • Graduate Student • Developed a substantial amount of code base 4 Brandon Shelton

  5. Location • Fiske Planetarium – Science on a Sphere display 5 Brandon Shelton

  6. Overview • Brandon- Sponsor/Project Intention • Brian- Current State + Laser Mission Solution • Garett - Requirements • James - Design/GUI • Neal - Solution State + Demo 6 Brian Hallesy

  7. Current Technology • Science on a Sphere – SOS • Exhibit display developed by NOAA for use in Museums/Planetariums across the globe • Currently cycles through pre-made animations • Needed: • An interactive learning experience for exhibit visitors 7 Brian Hallesy

  8. Solution: Laser Mission • Provide an interactive environment in which users can discover spherical geometry through simple programming commands. • Techniques: • Turtle Geometry • Extremely intuitive GUI • Simple LOGO command flow 8 Brian Hallesy

  9. Environment • Hardware • 1 Tablet PC • User interaction device • 6 Server Computers • 4 Screens, 1 Controller, 1 Backup • Software • Science on a Sphere • Geometry on a Sphere • Interpreter/GUI • DataComm • Emulator 9 Brian Hallesy

  10. Overview • Brandon- Sponsor/Project Intention • Brian- Current State + Laser Mission Solution • Garett- Requirements • James - Design/GUI • Neal - Solution State + Demo 10 Garett Shulman

  11. Environmental Requirements • Software Environment: • “Geometry on a Sphere” • Implemented in Python • Written by Mike MacFarrin • 2D-to-3D image conversion • Sphere Emulator • OpenGL and C • Hardware Environment: • SOS Server • Server at Fiske running Red Hat Linux • Tablet PC • User Interface 11 Garett Shulman

  12. Functional Requirements • Interactivity! • Intuitive, easy to learn programming language • Draw many types of geometric designs on the sphere • Target users: 6th-12th grade students • Introduce and reinforce spherical geometry principles • User Interface • Language: Easy to learn syntax, simple functionality • GUI: Graphical representations of programming concepts 12 Garett Shulman
