A textbook with 3D illustrations for virtual and augmented reality is being created at Moscow State University. Geometry will want to learn

During the live broadcast of the meeting of the All-Russian Congress of Teachers and Teachers of Mathematics and Informatics Viktor Sadovnichy, Rector of Moscow State University. M.V. Lomonosov, officially announced that university specialists are already working on the creation of the latest textbook for schools, which will use augmented and virtual reality technologies. Thanks to the use of these technologies, illustrations on topics can be presented in the format of full-fledged volumetric models, which are especially important and effective in teaching certain school subjects, for example, stereometry.

This development is necessary in order to interest schoolchildren (and in the future, probably, students as well) to absorb educational material more diligently. According to the rector of Moscow State University, at the moment it is difficult for schoolchildren to be carried away by reading ordinary paper manuals, so you need to interest the audience using the digital environment. However, he did not provide any details about how the new textbook will be implemented. Perhaps augmented reality with illustrations will be realized through special images or QR codes, which will be transformed into three-dimensional objects on the screen of the gadget using smartphones.

On the other hand, by creating an electronic textbook that can be run on a computer, tablet or smartphone, you can present much more digital content. And this is very similar to the plan of the Federal Institute for Digital Transformation in Education – the organization plans to order digital educational content in the amount of 800 million rubles for the school curriculum through the public procurement website. The list of content includes podcasts, videos on various topics, computer game simulators (urban, space, military, biological), interactive geographic maps and more. Perhaps, at Moscow State University, they are aimed at creating just such content.
