zSpace Visits CFB
zSpace is a California-based company that utilizes a platform by the same name, that provides highly realistic visualization and natural 3D interaction to designs. Also used by the U.S. military, zSpace allows students to learn through Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality experiences. On Feb. 28, he company visited R. L. Turner and Ranchview High Schools with their interactive trailer. Students were able to enjoy the technology hands-on and see its applications in nearly every area of study. The zSpace trailer is has with 10 computers for students so they may experience objects by “lifting” them off of the computer screen and manipulate them in all angles.
Career & Technology Education
Wearing special glasses, students could see objects such as an automobile engine or a human heart floating in space. Using buttons on the stylus, students were able to look at exploded-views of objects to see how they worked internally. Thanks to haptic feedback in the stylus, students could feel the pulse of blood as it passed through the 3D beating heart floating in front of their screens. CFB’s Career & Technology Education department provides many real world experiences for students interested in various career paths. Students taking part in the Virtual Reality experience with zSpace have interests ranging from computer programming to biochemistry.
