3D in education

3D technology is used effectively to create educational tools and content, enhancing traditional education methods or by providing virtual classrooms. For example, Gaia 3D Viewer:

The Gaia 3D Viewer has been designed with the classroom in mind. The simple interface requires no training and teachers are able to start teaching lessons in 3D straight away. Different Viewer options offer a variety of capabilities allowing maximum flexibility in the classroom. Gaia offers a variety of lessons covering all subjects from Biology to History and Geography. Each lesson can be enhanced by the teacher with the capability to quickly and easily embed external assets directly into the lessons provided. The full environments, such as the Roman City and Pond Ecosystem, allow teachers and pupils to explore and discover in a virtual environment. Using the camera function in the Viewer, teachers may individually determine and control the path they wish to travel inside any selected 3D environment. For instance, take the classroom on a virtual tour of ancient Giza or on an underwater hunt for tadpoles.
