GeoWall Project at

Computing Services at South Dakota State University has developed
Geowall project. Geowall is a combination of new projection technology,
fast graphics cards and linux PCs.Using Geowall it has been possible to provide
a stereo projection system that is much more affordable than previous commercial
solutions. The GEOWALL project makes use of these projection systems to visualize
structure and dynamics of 3d/3d objects in stereo to aid the understanding
of spatial relationships. A good understanding of spatial relationships is required for
the study of Chemistry/ Architecture and Geography. Traditional teaching
methods have strongly relied upon 2D representations through maps and profiles
that are occasionally augmented by physical models. In most cases Scientists
have been trained to understand the 3D objects from such representation,
but spatial thinking skills are required for students at Introductory Level. Most of the information came from Geowall Consortium. There for
more information on geowall www.geowall.org
may be the best place to look at. |
