“…This developing technology offers the opportunity for the creation of a completely new generation of computer supported networks, virtual learning environments and virtual laboratories (e.g. Riganelli et al, 2005). The approach has shown high potential for enhancing both motivation and learning in a number of recent ECTN projects.…”

In this work we introduce a learning system based on Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality for studying analytical-geometric structures that are part of the curriculum in mathematics and physics in high school classes. We believe that an immersive study environment has several advantages with respect to traditional two-dimensional environments (such as a book or the simple screen of a PC or even a tablet), such as the spatial understanding of the concepts exposed, more peripheral awareness and moreover an evident decreasing in the information dispersion phenomenon. This does not mean that our teaching proposal has to substitute the traditional approaches, but it can be seen as a robust tool to support learning. In the first phase of our research we have sought to understand which mathematical objects and which tools could have been used to enhance the teaching of mathematics, in order to demonstrate that the use of Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality techniques significantly improves the level of understanding of the mathematical subject being studied by the students. The system which provides for the integration of two machine levels, hardware and software, was subsequently tested by a representative sample of students who then provided feedback through a questionnaire.

“…The latter is necessary to make more manageable the use of distributed remote data and information to be used as a real-time reservoir of knowledge. This has motivated the members of CompChem to foster innovative research lines investigating new paradigms for the semantic use of the distributed molecular knowledge [13] and developing MVR tools [10,[14][15][16].…”

ABSTRACT:Computer simulations of the properties of processes and materials are becoming increasingly necessary in several technological and environmental studies. This implies a growing demand of computing resources that severely exploits Grid environments in terms of sustainability and reliability of the infrastructure. For this purpose, we have established a Virtual Organization, called CompChem, committed to deploy on the EGEE production Grid applications relevant to the activities of the Molecular and Matter Sciences and Technologies Community. These applications are based on a distributed usage of distributed suites of programs. CompChem has started its Grid activities with the assemblage of an atom diatom reactive scattering prototype simulator for molecular beam apparatuses. At present, the simulator is being extended to deal with large systems. This has prompted a dramatic change in the used theoretical approaches and computational algorithms as well as a development of new paradigms to describe and represent molecular and matter structures and properties. Furthermore, we have implemented a Web Service aimed at interfacing the simulation environment running on the Grid with a Virtual Reality client environment, in which the user can set up the operating conditions of the simulation and exploit its outcomes.
