Construct3D: A Virtual Reality Application for Mathematics and Geometry Education
TR-186-2-00-16, June 2000 [ paper]
Information
  • Publication Type: Technical Report
  • Keywords: education, mathematics, geometry, augmented reality, virtual reality

Abstract
Construct3D is a three dimensional geometric construction tool based on the collaborative augmented reality system Studierstube. Our setup uses a stereoscopic head mounted display (HMD) and the Personal Interaction Panel (PIP) - a two-handed 3D interaction tool that simplifies 3D model interaction. Means of application in mathematics and geometry education at high school as well as university level are being discussed. A pilot study summarizes the strengths and possible extensions of our system. Anecdotal evidence supports our claim that the use of Construct3D is easy to learn and encourages experimentation with geometric constructions.
