Guided and Interactive Factory Tours for Schools
نویسندگان
چکیده
School education today aims at improving the integration of school and professional life. A popular way to provide first hand experiences to students are guided factory tours. Companies are highly interested in establishing contacts to school classes, but guided tours to factories are subject to constraints on both sides. For schools, they require organizational effort, are not easy to integrate into educational routine, and are limited to the factories within reach. For companies, guided tours for school classes are restricted because of safety issues and because they disturb the working processes. Considering these restrictions, interactive guided factory tours are a valuable opportunity, as they enable school classes to actively take part in guided factory tours via internet. This paper discusses the technical, organizational, and pedagogical requirements of guided and interactive factory tours, presenting an interaction model, a role set, a technical solution, and best practices.

An Auto-Navigation System for Virtual Factories
Interactive 3D graphics is an effective front end for a virtual factory to provide virtual tours, tracking, training, and simulation. With the recent advances in graphics acceleration hardware and in the development of web 3D standards such as VRML, networked virtual reality is becoming a viable and promising man-machine interface. However, it is still a great challenge for a novice user equipp...
متن کاملThe Data Viewer: a Program for Graphical Data Analysis
This thesis describes some new graphical methods for analyzing high-dimensional data based on motion through sequences of projections. 3-D point cloud rotations provide the canonical example of such methods. The grand tour (Asimov 1985), is a recent attempt at devising a higher 4imensional analog. It is insufficient for data analysis purposes b~cause the motion paths areirandofuly constructed, ...
متن کاملOn the Provision of Guided Tours in Multiple Foreign Languages to Tourists
We provide the first theoretical analysis of the working of an agency that provides guided tours in multiple foreign languages to tourists. We begin by delineating a simple model of the functioning of such an agency. Our model accounts for the fact that this agency is operating in an environment of uncertainty because the demand for guided tours in foreign languages is probabilistic. Next, we c...

متن کاملFlexible Guided-tours in Hypertexts: a Way of Controlling the User in Learning Applications
This paper proposes and discusses a user control strategy in learning applications which is based on the use of flexible guided-tours. The flexibility arises from the use of nested context nodes combined with node attributes, which allow authors to create guided-tours which impose on learners suitable degrees of freedom aiming at learning. It describes an authoring and navigation environment, n...
