Interactive 3D teaching software from 3D-Hub, offering ‘virtual models’ for the classroom is available for the first time from RM Education – leading supplier of ICT to UK education.
The solar system, the human heart and the structure of a volcano are just some of the exciting and innovative teaching and training materials available.
The software, which is easy to download and use, allows the virtual 3D models to be manipulated, animated and disassembled interactively.
With an expanding library of the virtual models for classroom use, the software and presentations offer great flexibility across all ages, helping to meet the needs of the national curriculum.
Simply purchase 3D-Hub credit vouchers through RM Education, which can then be redeemed on the 3D-Hub website and online community. A 3D Player is downloaded online and installed on the classroom PC. The models are then downloaded from the site and displayed via a projector.
The added benefit of the 3D-Hub content is how it is licensed. 3D-Hub software and the teaching materials are available to the whole school and not to each computer, and importantly it works with nearly the same impact in 2D on any projector or screen device not yet 3D enabled.
Mark Reynard, Commercial Director at 3D-Hub, commented: “We are delighted that RM has become a distributor of the 3D-Hub software. The product offers great flexibility for teachers and the presentations are proving to have a real impact with the students, truly captivating them and further increasing their learning potential.”
To buy credit vouchers for the 3D-Hub software from RM go to www.rm.com or for more information on 3D-Hub,
