zSpace Celebration
zSpace machines are interactive, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) learning tools designed to create immersive, hands-on educational experiences. These devices look like advanced desktop computers but are equipped with AR/VR capabilities that allow users to manipulate 3D objects in virtual space using a stylus and special glasses.
zSpace allows for an immersive learning experience by combining AR and VR that allows students to explore complex concepts in math, science, engineering, art, and more. Students are able to virtually "lift" objects off of the screen and manipulate them to rotate, dissect, or assemble them as though they were physical objects (ie, dissecting frogs and hearts, taking apart automotive engines, filling cavities, etc.).
zSpace machines are widely used in STEM education for interactive lessons, such as exploring human anatomy, examining the structure of molecules, or designing engineering projects. They support career and technical education (CTE) by simulating environments like automotive repair shops or medical labs. This technology encourages collaboration by enabling students to share their experiences in real-time. zSpace keeps students engaged with hands-on, visual learning that connects theoretical concepts to real-world applications.
zSpace machines are particularly beneficial for schools aiming to integrate cutting-edge technology into their curriculum to enhance engagement, accessibility, and understanding of complex subjects.
