Viaje virtual

La semana pasada participé del evento Campus Party y tuve la oportunidad de experimentar lo que es la Realidad Virtual (RV) . 


Tal como señaló Joan Cwaik, la RV tuvo un auge entre los 80 y 90 con los juegos online, luego ese interés se estabilizó y hoy se analiza usos posibles como por ejemplo con fines terapéuticos. "Teletransportar" a pacientes en terapia intensiva a lugares agradables fuera del hospital no curan sus dolencias, pero la experiencia suele ser tan vívida que engaña al cerebro haciéndolo segregar hormonas que mejoran la calidad de vida.

Un viaje virtual ofrece una experiencia sensorial increíble. ¿Qué tal si lo utilizamos en nuestras clases? La RV brinda la ventaja de explorar libremente un entorno y además interactuar con el contenido a tu propio ritmo. Otra ventaja es que los viajes virtuales no te limitan a una sola visita, sino que puedes volver cuántas veces quieras y explorar cada vez en más detalle. Para emprender un viaje virtual en el aula puedes usar un proyector conectado a una PC o una pizarra digital y así fácilmente guiar a toda la clase. También puedes permitirles realizar su propio viaje con un mapa o una actividad para que ellos exploren, descubran, lleguen a conclusiones.

La exposición “Minerales, fósiles y evolución humana” en el Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales  ofrece recorridos tridimensionales con una gran libertad de movimientos y detalle. NO requiere la descarga de ningún plug-in para poder visualizarse. El recorrido puede ser automático - recomendable para los más pequeños- o dirigida que requiere de precisión en la motricidad fina.

My first Meme (pingback and trackback)

When did I start using Internet? I think it coincides with the economic change in Argentina ( 1 peso = 1 dollar) in the late 90's. I started using e-mailing. I have friedns and family living abroad or in other cities, and they usually complain about the fact that I am pretty lazy for writing letters and going to the post office. So, e-mailing was a solution for me. A really turning point took place in 2001 when I was invited to an on line course on " How to evalute websites" carried out by another Argentinean - Prof. Norma Scagnoli- working at the University of Illinois. She introduced me into the virtual world and there I met one of my dearest cyberfriends: Prof. Dafne Gonzalez. From that moment my virtual life started. I bagan exploring the net and that same year I opened my firs e-group: English Virtual Community. My first steps on the Internet were really awful. I used to have dial up connection, so my experience was a bit poor. I could not spend much time on line and
