Solutions
Tomo3D is the new software by Dynematica that aims to innovate the teaching activities through an innovative approach. Tomo3D - Physics is developed as a series of interactive applications in a 3D environments each one shows a physical phenomenon with the expressive power that only 3D graphics is able to offer.
|
Attention Curve |
| The attractive appearance and the innovative approach to the lesson, capture students' attention holding it for a longer period. | |
|
Greater Control |
| The virtual environment allows to manage the temporal evolution of the phenomenon, giving the teacher the opportunity to dwell on the most important moments, thus highlighting the conceptual issues and the variation of the variables involved. | |
|
More Detail |
| 3D graphics allows to "get into" the phenomenon. Illustrating the matter states (solid, liquid and gaseous) the teacher might show the behavior of macroscopic bodies and then enter the into the matter itself to show the interaction between the molecules. | |
|
Reduced Costs |
| Realistic and physically correct reconstruction of a phenomenon eliminates the costs required to purchase equipments and laboratories. The physics engine, allows to observe the reaction of the phenomenon on changing conditions, just as we would in a lab. |
Phenomena
Tomo3D is the first in a series of three-dimensional applications designed for classroom use.
This first package is dedicated to physics.
Were developed 14 interactive simulations of physical phenomena divided into:
| Kinematics | Dynamic | Static |
Interactivity
It is the strength of Tomo3D. The teacher can modify the main parameters of the phenomenon to show students how the system reacts to the conditions change.
Points of View
Every phenomenon can be observed from different points of view. In fact the different cameras permit to observe the animation from different angles, allowing the teacher to emphasize different aspects of the phenomenon.
Matrix
The matrix function is an interactive slow motion of the crucial moments of the phenomenon. This gives to teacher the opportunity to show, more effectively, the temporal evolution of the variables involved even when the change is really fast.
Report
Thanks to this feature the teacher will have the the possibility to contact Dynematica staff every moment to any kind of communication.
Suggestions and ideas will be accepted and evaluated carefully, all to keep Tomo3D up to date to meet the needs of teachers.
Models
For each phenomenon different models are available. Models are different scenes that allow the teacher to illustrate how the same phenomenon is present in different situations and configurations.
Presets
In every phenomenon the main editable variables are grouped by presets. Each preset is a pre-stored configuration of variables that represents the most significant cases to illustrate the phenomenon.
Video
One ore more video clips is associated to each phenomenon. They shows a real situation in which the phenomenon is visible. These clips give student a reference to his daily experience that makes the concept assimilation easier.
Overlay
The overlap of 2D graphics on the three-dimensional scene can highlight less noticeable details. This makes the lectures more effective.
FreeHand Layer
Thanks to the FreeHand layer and to the interactive whiteboards, the teacher can write, mark, highlight directly on the 3D scene.
Graphs
The main phenomenon values are represented on a Cartesian graphs that change in real time with the phenomenon evolution. The history function makes possible to compare the last 3 tests performed.
