1. 2-D vs. Simulations A Comparison Frederic Banting ITEC 830
Spring 2015 Dr. Patricia Donohue
2. Simulation Places user in an interactive, real world context
environment Outcomes dictated by user decision-making and feedback,
and then studied Not a game there is no competition, no rewards or
goal scoring Used for training in hazardous work situations; allows
for a comfortable environment for learner with room for errors : a
device that enables the operator to reproduce or represent under
test conditions phenomena likely to occur in actual performance
definition by Merriam Webster.
3. Distinction: Not Stereoscopic 3-D based in Z space to create
the illusion of depth in perception 3-D Modeling: Real life
details, shadows, light reflection, texture
4. 2-D images are flat, like illustrations in a book 3-D
Modeling: Real life details, shadows, light reflection, texture
2-D
5. 3-D simulations offer a high fidelity, more engaging
experience 3-D Flight Simulator by
6. 3-D simulations are perfectly suited for training in the
medical, engineering, and high risk industries where precision is
of ultimate importance.
7. 3-D simulation apps for education are available for mobile
devices
8. Can 3-D simulations replacing field trials?
9. 2-D simulations are a low cost alternative to 3-D
simulations, with less computational times.
10. 2-D simulations can be set in a real world context and be
just as effective as 3-D
11. With 2-D simulations, sometimes less is more. 2-D Driving
Simulator by
12. Which simulation is more effective?
13. 2-D 3-D Simulations in general are an important part of the
experiential learning process, where the choices and feedback, no
matter what format, are really what matters the most.
