Virtual Reality in Stereometry Training

Abstract

A new stereoscopic system is presented in this chapter for training in stereometry. Virtual reality systems are two types: immersion and non-immersion. An example of a environments with immersion is the desktop computer in which the virtual world is displayed on a special stereoscopic monitor through 3D glasses. The HMD (Head Mounted Display) virtual helmet is an example of an immersion system. The new stereoscopic system can also implement both types of 3D technology. At the same time, the software can generate objects in the .obj file extension to print to a 3D printer or add to a virtual reality device. The 3D technology is one of the fastest-growing. Over the last decade, it has found application in almost all spheres of society, including education. In learning stereometry, a problem may arise in drawing the geometric figures, unlike planimetry, where the drawing 100% coincides with its original. The problem can be solved with the help of specialized 3D software.
