| PROJECT OVERVIEW |
The "Virtual Science Lab" is based at the University of Virginia. It employs emerging software visualization tools to explain technologies affecting our daily lives. The project is directed by Professor John C. Bean. Funding is provided by the National Science Foundation CCLI, NIRT, MRSEC and NUE programs, and the University of Virginia. Additional support was provided by IBM and Discreet Corporations. |
| SOFTWARE TOOLS: |
Movies are created using "3D Studio MAX" (Discreet Division of Autodesk Inc.). Pages are composed using "Dreamweaver" (Macromedia Corporation), JavaScript and PHP. |
| PAGE CREDITS: |
