• 3D is becoming cheaper to access for P-12 schools
• Projectors can handle 2D and 3D with same equipment
• Research into uses for P-12 schools increasing
3D Images• Stereoscopic images are used to
produce a 3D effect by offsetting two images so that the left and right eye will differentially perceive depth when the anaglyph images are viewed with cyan/ red glasses
• Movie 3D operates not on color separation but on polarized imaging and glasses.
3D Teaching
• Virtual Worlds - Second Life
• Textbooks - 3D Magic Library
• Virtual Tours - Museums, Field Trips
• Software- Google SketchUp
• iPad Apps - Science Apps (Bobo’s Circus, Toontastic)
• Printers - 3D printers for Media & Food

• Cost for media is $45 and up
• A great source for choosing a printer is: http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/29/3d-printer-guide/
3D Food Printers• 3D food printers such as Cornell’s
