TriO: A Multiplayer, Immersive, Virtual Environment for Exploring R3
摘要
We present TriO, a multiplayer, immersive, virtual environment for exploring R3. TriO was designed and developed by the research team to be an example of a three-dimensional parametric movement experience. In TriO, three virtual handles—colored red, green, and blue—control the x, y, and z coordinates of a small, disk-like object (the widget). Through parametrized movement along the three coordinate axes, players work together to navigate the widget to various points in R3. We describe the design of the environment, consider its affordances for learning, present a multimodal summary of how three secondary mathematics teachers worked together in TriO to navigate to each of the vertices of a cube, and reflect on how collaborative, movement-based explorations of R3 could create new opportunities for mathematical learning.
