Solar Satellite System Environments (3 parts)
This green environment allows the viewer the experience of converting a coal fired plant to a solar microwave plant that produces the same output with zero emissions. We partnered with a WIRED Grant and Prof. Don Flournoy (d.flournoy@ohio.edu) from Ohio University to visualize this interactive experience. Visitors can decommission the coal plant while replacing it with the developing technology by pushing buttons that activate various phases.

Solar System Environment
The real strength of hyper web development is that it is an experience as opposed to just information. In this classroom we played to that strength by developing concepts that allow the experiencer to feel the scale of our planetary system in several ways. One part starts with a 1cm "sun" (one half the size of a BB) then scales the orbits of the planets to that sun. students are shocked when they find that the orbit of Pluto is quite a walk (about 300 ft.). Another nearby experience scales the planets against a sun that is 10 meters in diameter. An animated reason for the seasons experience animates a 3-D Earth for a year around the Sun and more.

Virtual Marine Classroom
Many photos of marine environments are available as are 2-D websites. In the Virtual Marine Classroom students are exposed to the scale of the underwater environment complete with programmed, animated creatures that are designed to provide a thrilling, educational but safe virtual field trip that provides the holistic recall of movement through 3-D space.
