Toying with Reality: Java and VRML.

Java Applets

Virtual Reality: Modeling with Math, and a little Java.

Adding the dimensions of depth & time and the active choices of partcipating visitors, well designed Java applets can grab and involve people, instead of isolating them as constrained, passive and uninvolved spectators.

A fast and fun introduction: if the picture looks interesting click on it and the Java program will start.

The Pythagorean Theorem:
Pythagaraus drew in the sand,
Gosling lets you draw the lines on the web -- rotate and slue the sides --
from a site in Japan.

"Equation Grapher" makes the Virtual a little more tangible.
You type an equation,
the graph of the equation appears ...
after you press the "Graph ..." button.

Draw and add vectors, visually.
