 So there are many things
in physics that are abstract,
that you can't really grab on
to and really see normally.
And a HoloLens puts computer
graphics in your vision.
So it allows you to see
and interact with things
that you can't normally,
and so specifically
electric and magnetic fields.
Normally or traditionally
when this has been taught,
I do a drawing on the board.
It's in two dimensions.
And then I ask the
students to, well,
now imagine that these
fields are going off
in all directions.
We emphasize that the field
through a point charge
is really symmetric.
And then expect the students to
know what that will look like.
But in this scenario I can
just go, hey, look walk around.
And then they're not relying
so much on the words.
They get to actually
see it directly.
So giving the students
an opportunity
to see the fields and
everything in three dimensions
and move the charges around
and see how the fields change
will hopefully make
it a lot easier
for them to grasp
the initial concepts
and hopefully make the
rest of the process easier.
I think almost
any discipline can
benefit from augmented
reality, but particularly
the departments here in the
Henson School of Science
and Technology.
There are so many concepts
that we talk about and discuss
that are abstract.
And if we're able
to give students
a more concrete
representation, it
will be that much
easier for them
to understand the material.
