3D-HUB a vital new tool for teachers. If a picture's worth a thousand words, how many more would a 3D image or better still a 3D video be worth? If you are looking to enrich the learning environment of your pupils, welcome to 3D-Hub, a place where you can download or create media that brings to life stereo 3D capable hardware such as overhead projectors and monitors. To see this software in action take a look at the "3D-Hub Live Demo" on YouTube.

3D-Hub is based on years of research to find the most effective techniques for the interactive presentation of teaching and training materials, 3D-Hub provides software for the display of 3D "virtual models" that can be manipulated, animated, and disassembled interactively. 3D-Hub also offers a large and expanding library of such models optimized for classroom use. The software and models work right away with standard 2D projectors and TVs, and for even more impact, 3D-Hub fully supports stereoscopic 3D projectors and 3D TVs to truly captivate students and further increase their learning potential.

So how does it work? Just download the FREE 3D-Hub Interactive Media Player and Free interactive content. Remember the 3D-Hub can be run in 2D mode on any projector or monitor without the need for specialist stereo equipment. You then select the 3D models you need from the 3D-Hub library of interactive models. Once opened the models can be interacted with in various ways; all models can be rotated through all axis and some can be exploded or highlighted to enhance the user's experience, and all in stereo 3D! If after seeing the 3D-Hub you decide that 3D-Hub is for you and your school, you can purchase the media player licence to remove the watermark from the demo version, and whatever 3D models you need by using credits purchased from Cambridge Information.
