Seeing in 3D

Content Provider ACM Digital Library
Author Parslow, Bob Wyvill, Geoff
Abstract Most people, even among technical draftsmen, designers and computer graphics programmers, find it very difficult to visualize 3D shapes well enough to reason about them. We demonstrate the problem and take participants through a series of exercises whereby they can begin to acquire this important practical skill. "Stand a cube on its corner. What is the shape of a horizontal cross-section taken at half the height of this object?" About four percent of people can reason about 3D space well enough to answer this question easily and with confidence. Most of us enter a state of panic when confronted by 3D problems. Yet it is possible to train yourself to think and visualize in 3D. This course helps attendees start thinking in 3D. Once they have the basic principles, they can develop the skill independently.

About National Digital Library of India (NDLI)
NDLI logo

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
