The Roles of Mental Animations and External Animations in Understanding Mechanical Systems
The effects of computer animations and mental animation on people’s mental models of a mechanical system are examined. In 3 experiments, students learned how a mechanical system works from various instructional treatments including viewing a static diagram of the machine, predicting motion from static diagrams, viewing computer animations, and viewing static and animated diagrams accompanied by...
متن کاملEntertaining evolution: understanding science from animations
At a natural history museum in Chicago, a series of animations puts a humourous spin on important concepts of evolution. These short films demonstrate the tensions between design goals that include both entertainment and education, and raise important questions about the use of animation for teaching complex processes such as evolution. This study reports the findings from clinical interviews w...
متن کاملVisualizations and Animations in Learning Systems
The topic visualizations and animations in learning systems focuses mainly on the usage of visualization/animation techniques in educational systems to support the learning process in some way. There are several definitions of visualization in the literature. Sometimes, visualization is defined as a simple process that creates a drawing, a diagram, or an image based on specific data or informat...
متن کاملAutomatic Conversion of Mesh Animations into Skeleton-based Animations
Recently, it has become increasingly popular to represent animations not by means of a classical skeleton-based model, but in the form of deforming mesh sequences. The reason for this new trend is that novel mesh deformation methods as well as new surface based scene capture techniques offer a great level of flexibility during animation creation. Unfortunately, the resulting scene representatio...
متن کاملCompressing Volumes and Animations
For simplicity, we limit our discussion to simple meshes, which are homeomorphic to a triangulation of a sphere. Yet, most of the techniques presented here are applicable, or have been extended to, more general topologies, including meshes with borders, handles, non-manifold vertices and edges, non-triangular faces [Ross99, GBTS99, RoCa99, ToGo98, RSS01, KRS99, BPZ99, IsSn00, Lo&02]. Hence, we ...
