The immersive human cocoon a digital experience that was conceived by a man formally of the MIT Media Lab

The immersive human cocoon a digital experience that was conceived by a man formally of the MIT Media Lab | Technology Advances | Scoop.it

We all need our own space to think, unwind or to clear or heads; some of us create den’s or man caves to label a spot within our homes to call our very own. What if we were able to go beyond the escapism of a computer, a mouse and an external experience and instead become the interface?

 

Combining our need for time alone with the advancement of technological features that span farther than our imaginations, would you be intrigued?

 

The immersive human cocoon is a digital experience that was conceived by a man formally of the MIT Media Lab, John Underkoffer, and its 360 degree prototype was developed by NAU out of Zurich, Switzerland; a dome that is fully equipped with motion sensing software giving you a true 3D experience.

3-D Shapes

The Shapes Resource on the Birmingham Grid For Learning website is an Interactive site for reviewing both 2D and 3D shapes.

 

The site does a good job defining and introducing 2D shapes and, the 3D shape section, is one of the best resources for understanding 3D shapes.


Investigation of 3D shapes includes an interactive 3D model of each of the 3D shapes that learners can control by touching on the control buttons.

 

In addition, each 3D shape has an accompanying net that practitioners or learners can print out and construct individual 3D shapes.

 

This is a great resource to share with other functional skills / functional maths practitioners.
