IBM - CVUT Student Research Projects Planets in Motion Michal Lukáč (lukacm1@fel.cvut.cz)
Project outline • Explore the capabilities of user-created content in Second Life • Utilise them to perform a virtual experiment demonstrating a physics phenomenon IBM - CVUT Student Research Projects 2
Realization • A model star system to demonstrate the Newton's law of universal gravitation on cellestial mechanics • Users may add planets to the system and observe their behaviour IBM - CVUT Student Research Projects 3
Implementation • Planets detect the star and are attracted to it • A control object allows the user to spawn more planets • A board provides user with information on touch IBM - CVUT Student Research Projects 4
Conclusion • Second Life allows us to perform classroom demonstrations on an unprecedented scale • A new dimension to e- learning? • School by Play! IBM - CVUT Student Research Projects 5
