zSpace

---

A key feature of all AR technologies is that users can manipulate objects away from the screen. In this way, it's best to think of the objects as holograms that can be picked up and moved around, rotated, sized up or down or otherwise altered, like changing the object's color or shape. The object isn't really there, of course, but users can interact with it as if it was, making for a novel learning experience that encourages students to think and explore. 

This is where the VR part comes in. Students can examine every object closely by simply turning their head around the AR environment. If a student looks at the object from the side by tilting their head, they will see the side of the object, faithfully represented as if it existed in the real world. Students can get a closer look at any angle by manipulating the object with their hands and getting a better angle.

zSpace also simulates perception of depth, another hallmark of AR and VR technologies. With depth, objects look much like they would in real 3D space, and this illusion further drives student engagement. 

The AR and VR experience is shattered if students are forced to use clunky controls in manipulating the environment. Fortunately, the provided stylus is designed for maximum intuitiveness. Most students won't even have to apply effort in using the stylus after their first session. It becomes part of the user's hand.
