Educating students is a monumental task. Current generation students have been raised in the Age of Nintendo, and are accustomed to and attracted by gee wiz graphics in their college curricula. Moreover, 3D representation has proven unsurpassed in terms of effectively communicating and illustrating complex ideas, in a range of technical educational fields. For these and other reasons, many leading educational institutions have incorporated some sort of visualization into their teaching rooms, be they large 2D screens or displays, or more sophisticated 3D facilities. In North America alone, Cyviz has delivered solutions to more than 80 universities, where some of the most popular application areas include:

 

 

3D visualization is a key ingredient in illustrating complex physical structures in academic settings. In chemical and molecular science, 3D representation of docking molecules and proteins is simplified by stereoscopic visualization. In earth sciences and atmospheric research, tectonics and weather patterns may be modeled, displayed and communicated in 3D with significant impact to improve understanding. In engineering, drawing board ideas come to life on the big screen, showing the inner workings of sophisticated machine parts. The list of actual and possible applications goes on, but common to all is high usability, persuasive illustration, effective communication and unsurpassed collaboration. All at an accessible price.
