At InfoComm 2014, poking my head into corners it certainly didn’t
belong in, I searched for promising trends, developments, and products in the
3D realm that might offer value for the education world. Here’s what caught my attention
for immediate application:
Eon
Reality’s iCube Mobile. Featured in the Panasonic
booth. the iCube Mobile is a
portable, lower-cost “show-and-go” version of an immersive 3D cave or hive. See
this video. It worked quite nicely and
offers excellent value to any educational setting, because of the mobility
advantage.

Wolfvision’s
3D document camera redux. Wolfvision is offering a new
feature in their ceiling-mounted
3D document camera: the ability to record in 3D.

WorldViz
Virtual Reality. There I stood, using Oculus Rift
headgear and the WorldViz virtual reality engine, being blithely transported to
a truly immersive experience as the bustle of InfoComm 2014 disappeared from my
virtual existence. WorldViz was demonstrating applications for their VR development engine and
highlighting in print their low cost, portable stereo 3D WorldViz Corner Cave. Both tools,
they suggested, offered real advantage for educational
applications. They already have a
number of educational institutions and inquiring. That’s no surprise. See this video:
