The Next Generation of Next Generation Learning

Projection’s gone mini The Pico PK301 –A 120" Image –Built-in Media Player with 32GB Micro SD Slot –WVGA (854 x 480) Resolution –1.5 hours (normal) or up to 5 hrs (optional High Capacity) battery life –Wide AV compatability

The World’s gone 3D Gaming has started the ball rolling Movies dominated by 3D this year Sport being televised in 3D Sky launching a 3D channel OpenGL becoming a dominant standard 120Hz display devices becoming more common

3D Projection Education can take advantage –More immersive –More engaging –Adds form and scale to 2D imaging –Transforms applications like Google Earth

Anaglyph 3D  Cheap glasses, content is easy to create, technology has been around for decades.  Quality is very poor

Passive 3D  Passive glasses are relatively inexpensive  Very high quality, large displays  Projectors costly, must be aligned perfectly, special silver screen

Active 3D Projection Frame 1 Frame 2 Frame 1 Frame 2 Frame 1 Frame 2  Can be used as a normal projector  Excellent image and colour quality  Low hardware cost  Cost of glasses

3D’s Possibilities for Education The gimmicky “wow” factor is not enough Software and content the key

Appreciate The Arts… Tour the world…virtually Dissect a frog… Visualize molecules… Get a close look at the Sciences Simplify geometry… Tour the universe …virtually

What you need for 3D 3D Capable Projector (120Hz) Optoma EX542-EDU Good spec PC Including a quad buffered graphics card capable of supporting Open GL 3D Viewing Software Stereoscopic Player or similar

SEN Assessment Creativity High levels of engagement and the ability to visualise concepts to give a deeper understanding could potentially have an excellent effect on SEN students. Projectors by essence are display devices rather than teaching tools. 3D projectors however may provide immersive environments where practical abilities could be assessed. It’s an interesting development in imaging, which may produce more creative end result—3D cameras are already here, and software is being written with greater 3D content not hot
