The key to teach effectively and efficiently is to combine various elements of representation and visualization, work interactively and make connections between the learner’s emotions, images and sensations. A good example of how these principles are applied to teaching is a Polish chemistry coursebook Ciekawa Chemia (The Absorbing Chemistry). The coursebook includes a set of CDs which contain multimedia lessons supported with animations, simulations of processes and chemical phenomena, dynamic and three-dimensional models of elements and compounds, tests and tasks aimed at solving problems as well as film sequences presenting for instance chemical experiments. Thanks to these films, the learner can see particular elements of a given experiment in detail, analyse interrelations between them and memorize how the experiment is carried out as the films can be played repeatedly. Such a way of presenting chemical experiments can help both those teachers and learners who, for various reasons, cannot carry out certain experiments themselves, as well as those seeking inspiration for carrying out new experiments, and most of all those looking for proper didactic tools to explain difficult questions. It seems worth mentioning that the experiments presented on the CDs can be carried out safely and economically. Their visualizations allow to create images of experiments in the learner’s mind which, though cannot replace carrying out experiments in reality but may well constitute a valuable educational tool. Key words: chemistry, didactics, experiment, multimedia.

Virtual heritage is able to provide visual aesthetics, real-time navigation and interaction to impress and entertain users. This article describes the design and development of three dimensional (3D) virtual heritage to view and navigate the 3D representation of Malay traditional house which is rare to be found today. The Virtual Traditional House allows flexible exploration with real-time navigation in order for users to walkthrough the 3D reconstruction of the house while viewing relevant historical information at certain parts of the house. The process of design and development of Virtual Traditional House is outlined and points of particular importance are explained. The article discusses the preliminary results of user evaluation for Virtual Traditional House. Future work includes extensive user evaluation and to what extend user may absorb the historical information surfaced around the virtual environment.

Minecraft is a first-person perspective video game in which players roam freely in a large three-dimensional environment. Players mine the landscape for minerals and use these minerals to create structures (e.g., houses) and mould the landscape. But can Minecraft be used to craft communities and minds? In this opinion piece, we highlight the enormous potential of Minecraft for fostering social connectedness, collaboration, and its potential as an educational tool. We highlight the recent use of Minecraft to aid socialization in individuals with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and promote civic engagement via the United Nations Human Settlement Program. We further provide novel links between Minecraft and recent on work on the role of social cures and community empowerment in enhancing mental health, wellbeing, and resilience.

The title compound Zn(NH3)4(ClO4)2 crystallizes in the space group F4̄3m with a = 10.240(1) Å. The crystal structure consists of tetrahedral Zn(NH3)4 cations and two nonequivalent ClO4 anions with crystallographic Td symmetry. The complex ions constitute an arrangement which is known from the Zintl phase MgAgAs. The Zn(NH3)4 cations are ccp packed with perchlorate anions in octahedral and tetrahedral voids. Whereas the ClO4 ions centered at tetrahedral holes do not interact with the other lattice components, the perchlorate ions in the octahedral voids are connected with the ammine ligands by a hydrogen bonded three-dimensional network involving all their N, H, and O atoms. The repeating unit of this network is a N4O4(μ-H)12 cube with N-H = 1.19(2) Å and O···H = 1.98(2)Å . Raman and IR spectra were recorded between 150 and 4000 cm-1. All the expected internal modes of the complex ions could be detected and assigned. The crystallographically different ClO4 anions have nearly the same vibrational spectra, only a slight splitting of two IR modes is observed

The advances in the study of three dimensional (3D) interactive visualization techniques in hydraulic engineering are reviewed. Main contents, key technologies and the difficulties with their solutions in the application of 3D interactive visualization techniques to water conservancy works are analyzed and summarized. A true 3D visual simulation system prototype for large-scale water conservancy project was built. A framework for building 3D visual simulation system for complex field data in hydraulic engineering is presented to illustrate potentiality and effectiveness of 3D visualization techniques for hydraulic engineering. Aspects like navigation and presentations of complex field data with spatial dependence are presented.
