  • Virtual 3D Worlds for Virtual Or Remote Laboratories with Regards to Learning/Educational Undertakings
    Virtual 3D Worlds for virtual or remote Laboratories with regards to learning/educational undertakings. Fabio Ricardo dos Santos Graz University of Technology, Austria ABSTRACT The transportation of a campus classroom and/or laboratory into a three dimensional virtual representation has changed remote learning, especially in engineering education. This thesis is concerned with shared virtual environments for collaborative learning and working, mainly between students and tutors/professors in a virtual control experiment setting. The underlying foundation for this idea is the iLab Project, which is a scalable architecture for sharing online experiments used by students and institutions. This research project is conducted and developed by the Center for Educational Computing Initiatives (CECI) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The main goal of the iLab Project is to provide a broad set of experimentation resources for students at MIT and elsewhere. The iLab initiative has grown tremendously over the past two years, being adopted by numerous partner universities around the globe. 3D Virtual Worlds are computer-based simulated environments intended for their users to inhabit and interact via avatars with other avatars and the virtual environment. These avatars are typically three-dimensional graphical representations. Such modeled worlds may appear similar to the real world and represent a powerful new media for instruction and education. Many higher education institutions are advancing their online teaching methods by offering educational applications in 3D Virtual Worlds because they offer attractive features and possible applications for education. The integration of possible functional iLabs by prototyping an iLabs application in such a 3D environment (such as Second Life or Open Wonderland) seems to be a very innovative tool for distance learning.

At his Howard Street studio Thursday afternoon, as he was in the midst of WWD fi ttings, he was excited but admittedly tired. “It’s been a superexciting week because [the Kering deal] was all coming together and the collection came in,” said Altuzarra, wearing a T-shirt and camoufl age pants, as Vanessa Traina and various design assistants went through the racks of the spring collection. The designer declined to disclose Kering’s percent- age interest in his company, but emphasized that “it was very important for me to keep [Kering] a minority stake at this point and for us to keep control of Altuzarra. They were incredibly supportive of that decision and Building really understanding of it, and that was also very rare.” “We are delighted to invest in Altuzarra to ac- company the development of this promising fash- ion house,” said Alexis Babeau, managing director, Kering Luxury division.

A primary objective of the Smackdown event is to provide college students with hands-on experience in developing distributed simulations using High Level Architecture (HLA). Participating for the second time, the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAHuntsville) deployed four federates, two federates simulated a communications server and a lunar communications satellite with a radio. The other two federates generated 3D computer graphics displays for the communication satellite constellation and for the surface based lunar resupply mission. Using the Light-Weight Java Graphics Library, the satellite display federate presented a lunar-texture mapped sphere of the moon and four Telemetry Data Relay Satellites (TDRS), which received object attributes from the lunar communications satellite federate to drive their motion. The surface mission display federate was an enhanced version of the federate developed by ForwardSim, Inc. for the 2011 Smackdown simulation. Enhancements included a dead-reckoning algorithm and a visual indication of which communication satellite was in line of sight of Hadley Rille.

  • Understanding Physical Concepts Using an Immersive Virtual Learning Environment
    Understanding Physical Concepts using an Immersive Virtual Learning Environment a a a, c b Johanna PIRKER , Stefan BERGER , Christian GÜTL , John BELCHER and b Philip H. BAILEY a Graz University of Technology b Massachusetts Institute of Technology c Curtin University of Technology Abstract. Understanding basic physical concepts is not an easy task. The Technology Enabled Active Learning Approach (TEAL) is an innovative learning approach and successfully improves the conceptual understanding in teaching freshmen physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This approach requires specially designed classrooms, hands-on experiments, different teaching methods and also virtual visualizations and simulations to enhance the student’s engagement and learning success. The Java-based open-source framework TEALsim was especially designed to support the students understanding of different physical procedures using visualizations and simulations of physical concepts such as Faraday’s Law. But not every institution or university is able to use the TEAL scenario because of the high expense in terms of required equipment. Also the distance learning idea is lost. Existing learning spaces are limited regarding time and space. Depending on the learning scope and application domain conventional E-learning tools are not always the best choice. Especially such abstract domains as physics are hard to teach without advanced tools. Drawbacks such as the lack of immersion and the lack of communication and collaboration possibilities suggest the introduction of a new e-learning tool, the Virtual 3D World. This paper focuses on the technical aspects of the implementation of TEALsim in the Virtual 3D World Environment Open Wonderland. This collaboration between the CECI at MIT and AEMT group at TU-Graz introduces a first potential scenario of in-world physics simulations.
