Linnmom Adils Table

Linnmom Adils Table

It has been a while that I have not looked into the Furniture Visualisation Challenge.  I have been reading a thesis and thought that I should take a break to play with creating 3D virtual world. I am getting better and better at creating a table, but perhaps I picked an easy one, so it only took me some 10 minutes or so to write a Logo program to create this LINNMON/ADILS table.

The music box was created a while ago to test the behaviour framework. I have been busy teaching and marking these days. Thought I should write a blog then resume marking......

3D Graphing

3D Plot

There are many 3D visualisation software for mathematics. Most of them allow easy input of a function to create a 3D graph. VRMath2 also allows creation of 3D graphs. It may not be so easy if compared to other software. But I think that VRMath2 is better for learning because it provides more opportunities for construction throught programing. I call this the power of "Programming driven 3D modelling and visualisation".

Ice Cream Cone

Ice Cream Cone

Hello, I have created an ice cream cone and I would like to show you how I did it. This simple ice cream cone has a cone and a sphere. The cone and sphere will overlap (intersect) a little bit. In this virtual ice cream cone, I have used both the graphic user interfaces (GUIs) and the Logo programming. When I completed it, I saved the Logo program (.logo file), the 3D world (.x3d file), and a screenshot (.png file) so I can show you in this blog.

Quite a few geometry software can produce complicated geometrical objects. The Platonic solids and Archimedian solids for example, can be produced using dynamic geometry systems (DGS). If so, the process would be brilliant but complicated ways of formal Euclidean  reasoning. In VRMath2, similar reasoning may be used, but because it has a Logo programming or turtle geometry capability, most of these complicated geometrical solids can actually be constructed by moving locations and turning directions.
