Visualizing engineering concepts in 3D on the iPad with Jigspace
#Enscape student software
The software also lets students import CAD files that they can use to build 3D visualizations in which they can animate their designs, and even add special effects that simulate airflow and direction of movement. Professor Jessica Ventura has used an AR app called Jigspace to help students visualize mechanical processes like how a jet engine works. The app includes over 10,000 realistic anatomical models/structures with quality definitions per body structure and over 1,000 detailed micro anatomy structures. Professors Kevin Rooney and Kelsey Taylor recently purchased two Oculus Quest 2 headsets and a subscription to 3D Organon VR to help students better visualize the movements of bones and muscles in the human body. It was very helpful to see the topic we are learning in a much more up-close and hands-on way.” Said Shaw, “From a teaching perspective, those experiences engaged and motivated students in ways I have not seen before.” Biology student immersed in a close-up view of internal organs in Sharecare VR It helped put what we were learning into a human body perspective. Said one student, “I loved the VR lab work. Shaw reports that students have given her positive feedback on the VR lab sessions. Students use a VR experience called Sharecare VR which allows them to look inside organs and examine the effects and treatments of certain diseases including asthma and chronic obstructive lung disease, and the placement of a stent in a patient with coronary artery disease.
Professor Joyce Shaw brings students in her pathophysiology class to Endicott’s XR Lab (LSB 403) as part of their weekly lab work. VR helps to bring attention to their way-finding in their design much more than if they use just a floor plan.” Interior Architecture student exploring a design project in the Oculus VR headset It places real emphasis on the clearance and heights in the drawings. They find out how their design dimensions feel. Students can then fully immerse themselves into their own designed spaces and get a more holistic view of their designs.Īccording to Director of Interior Architecture Programs, Myoung Joo Chun, “VR brings the students into their own designed spaces and allows them to pre-explore their user’s experience. In Interior Architecture classes, students can now export their 2D designs from Revit software using a plug-in called Enscape to be viewed in the Oculus Rift VR headset. Here are some of the ways Endicott faculty students are using XR technologies. Over the past few years, the Academic Technology team has worked with a variety of faculty members in different departments to help them integrate this technology into their instruction. Two of the fastest growing technologies in education are virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), collectively known as XR (eXtended reality).
