3D Visualization

Nextspace, as described in Nextspace bring 3D visualization to the classroom, allows students the chance to 'work' potentially with any model in a 3D sense.

Nextspace is at work in New Zealand. In one after school program, students can work with physical aviation models as well as their 3D versions on the computer. Students can take what they see visually and put it to direct use on the models.

While Nextspace is currently in New Zealand, the potential for other countries is huge. For the United States, who longs to have higher educational standards, why not incorporate Nextspace 3D programs into not only VoTech schools, but public schools as well? All students can benefit from having 3D models of any kind. Imagine a fourth grader learning about static electricity and being able to manipulate an atom on the computer rather than trying to grasp such an abstract idea in their minds...
