SUMMARY:Touching the Fourth Dimension - Prof. Andrew J. Hanson\, Indiana U
 niversity Bloomington
DTSTART:20080718T131500Z
DTEND:20080718T140000Z
UID:TALK12803@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Neil Dodgson
DESCRIPTION:Human interaction with the world is mediated by touch as well 
 as by sound and sight.  We are accustomed to seeing as well as touching 3D
  objects\, and\, from that grounding experience\, creating corresponding 3
 D mental models even though only 2D data may be available\, e.g.\, on a co
 mputer screen or magazine image.  This talk will explore the concept of un
 derstanding the fourth dimension\, accessible to humans only through mathe
 matical equations\, by means of visual\, audible\, and finally by touch-ba
 sed interactive computer techniques.  With such tools\, we can hope to enh
 ance the available grounding experiences for learning about 4D space\, exp
 loiting traditional multimodal perceptual resources to the fullest extent 
 possible.\n
