CyberMath: A Shared Virtual Environment for Mathematics Exploration
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present CyberMath, an avatar-based shared virtual environment aimed at improving the current problematic situation in mathematics education. CyberMath allows mathematics to be presented in a new and exciting way and is suitable for exploring and teaching mathematics in situations both where teacher and students are co-present and physically separated. CyberMath also supports a variety of teaching styles, ranging from traditional oneto-many lectures to teacher-supported interaction and individual off-line exploration. We also summarize the results of two initial usability studies of our system.

متن کاملGuiding Techniques for Collaborative Exploration in Multi-scale Shared Virtual Environments
Exploration of large-scale 3D Virtual Environments (VEs) is difficult because of lack of familiarity with complex virtual worlds, lack of spatial information that can be offered to users and lack of sensory (visual, auditory, locomotive) details compared to exploration of real environments. To address this problem, we present a set of metaphors for assisting users in collaborative navigation to...
