CyberMath: A Shared Virtual Environment for Mathematics Exploration
Gustav Taxén, Ambjörn Naeve · 2001
We present CyberMath, an avatar-based shared virtual environment aimed at improving the current problematic situation in mathematics education. CyberMath allows mathematics to be presented in a new and exciting way and is suitable for exploring and teaching mathematics in situations both where teacher and students are co-present and physically separated. CyberMath also supports a variety of teaching styles, ranging from traditional one-to-many lectures to teacher-supported interaction and individual off-line exploration. We also summarize the results of two initial usability studies of our system.
