Full color, HD stereoscopic display with head tracking
Unique stylus for virtual interaction
Passive, non-tracked 2D conversion
eyewear
Passive, polarizedtracking eyewear
And a PCto drive it
Franklin’s Lab
Complex concepts taught through meaningful application• Electricity• Circuits• Motors
Newton’s Park
Answer questions through trial and error, user-created experiments• Newton’s Laws• Projectile Motion• Collisions, forces and friction
zSpace Studio
Compare, contrast, and relate structure to function• Over 1000 models to
compare• Tools for discovery
zSpace Studio
• Historical Artifacts• Architecture• Archaeology• Human Anatomy• Solar System
Included in the Studio model gallery:
• Botany• Zoology• Technology• Transportation• Sculpture
Full catalog of models available. Many models include curriculum guidelines and model-specific recommended activities.
Using zSpace Studio
• Print Preview• Dissect• Measure• Cutting Plane• Annotations• Tour Builder• Activity Builder
Our latest STEM software has a number of new features to enhance the experience of interacting with 3D models in zSpace.
Activity Builder
Create your own lessons and guided activities, just like in Newton’s Park and Franklin’s Lab
Supports Design and Manufacturing Teaching
• Use existing tools• Import 3D models• Visualize and explore• 3D Print Preview
zSpace enhances student design and manufacturing skills
Examples of supported import formats
Personalize the learning experience
• Teacher tool allows customization and building of activities
• Learning differentiation through activity questions and hints
• Advanced options allow teachers to create nuanced experiments
How does a ball’s mass affect the speed of a falling ball?Question 1
•Create an experiment with balls of different mass, roll them down ramps and measure the velocity of the ball at a common point.
Does the shape of the ramp or a straight drop make a difference in the momentum?Question 2
•Create an experiment comparing the velocity of a single ball when rolling down different ramps or falling straight down.
How can you explain the different results?Question 3•Document in your lab book the differences in your measurements and hypothesize as to why they differ?
