Development and Use of a Stereoscopic System in Stereometry Training

Abstract

This article briefly presents how the StereoMV mathematical software is designed and used. It consists of five modules: interface, stereoscopic visualization, stereometry, training module and knowledge testing module. The stereoscopic system is research-oriented and designed for the presented modules. The purpose of the system is to allow students to control, observe and manipulate geometric shapes in space. StereoMV is part of a dissertation on the following topic: “Stereoscopic Training System”. A new boundary method, created by the author of the system, is used to generate geometric shapes. This method takes part in the generation of a circle by means of a quadratic Bézier curve using three control points. The use of the matrix calculus, which plays a role in the generation of geometric shapes and the performance of transformations, is of particular importance in the development of the system.
