Your SMARTī€ƒDocumentī€ƒCamera can transform any classroom or lecture hall into a spontaneous and
interactive learning environment. It uses a high-resolution video camera to display clear and detailed
images of written material or any physical object.
SMARTī€ƒNotebook 3Dī€ƒTools and Mixed Reality Tools take this experience to a new level by providing
teachers and students with a new way to engage with digital 3D content.
This chapter provides the information you need to begin using SMARTī€ƒNotebook 3Dī€ƒTools and Mixed
Reality Tools with your SMARTī€ƒDocumentī€ƒCamera as well as SketchUpā„¢ sketching software and
Googleā„¢ 3Dī€ƒWarehouse.
Chapter 7
51
SMARTī€ƒNotebook 3Dī€ƒTools and Mixed Reality Tools provide an intuitive way for students and
teachers to explore digital content with the document camera. This technology is integrated with
SMARTī€ƒNotebook software.
Incorporating 3D content into your lessons
You can incorporate 3D content into your SMARTī€ƒNotebook software lessons. The following are
examples of how to do this:
l If youā€™re teaching a biology lesson, insert a 3D model of a heart into your .notebook file. Rotate
and change the size of the 3D model to present the different parts of the heart.
l If youā€™re teaching an English lesson, insert a 3D model of a city that is referenced in a novel the
class is reading. Enter the 3Dī€ƒscene to navigate streets and interiors of buildings.
l If youā€™re teaching a primary lesson, insert multiple 3D models and use the Disguise feature to
reveal answers as a memory exercise.
Getting started
Hardware and software requirements
To get started with Mixed Reality Tools, you need the following:
l SMARTī€ƒNotebook software 11
l SMARTī€ƒDocumentī€ƒCamera 330
l A mixed reality cube
l A Windows computer meeting the following requirements:
o
PentiumĀ® 4 processor or better
o
512 MB of RAM (1ī€ƒGBī€ƒrecommended)
o
2 GB of free hard disk space
o
Windows XP SP3, Windowsī€ƒVistaĀ® SP2 or Windows 7 operatingī€ƒsystem
o
DirectXĀ® 9 compatible graphics hardware
C H A P T E R 7
Using SMARTī€ƒNotebook 3Dī€ƒTools and Mixed Reality Tools
52
l A Mac computer meeting the following requirements:
o
1.5 GHz IntelĀ® processor or better
o
1 GB of RAM
o
1 GB of free hard disk space for minimum installation (2 GB for full installation with
Gallery collections)
o
Macī€ƒOSī€ƒX 10.6 operating system software or later
Lighting requirements
Mixed Reality Tools works best in a bright room where the work surface doesnā€™t have any noticeable
shadows or glare.
The light must be as uniform as possible, shining on the cube and background. You can achieve this
by setting up the document camera so that the camera is facing directly down, perpendicular to a
uniform, neutral work surface. The work surface should not be darker than the black elements on the
mixed reality cube or lighter than the white elements on the cube.
N O T E S
l In very bright rooms, the work surface can appear whiter than the white elements on the
cube.
l You can print a mixed reality mat and place it under the document camera to increase
contrast between the cube and the background (see Using the mixed reality mat below).
A typical projector room is usually quite dark. For Mixed Reality Tools to work properly, the document
cameraā€™s light should be turned on. Donā€™t manipulate the cube more than 14" (35 cm) from the
document camera.
N O T E
If SMARTī€ƒNotebook software doesnā€™t enter Mixedī€ƒReality mode when you hold the cube under the
camera, shake the cube under the camera. If the issue persists, press and hold the brighten button
on the document camera to maximize the brightness.
Using the mixed reality mat
To increase the contrast between the mixed reality cube and background, you can use the mixed
reality mat available from the SMARTī€ƒSupport website. The mat includes marks that indicate the area
in which you can move the cube while in Mixedī€ƒReality mode.
C H A P T E R 7
