SUMMARY:RiSE Teachers in Residence
DESCRIPTION:Join Justin Dimmel from the University of Maine’s Immersive Mathematics in Rendered Environments (IMRE) laboratory for a week of using virtual reality to explore the connections between plane and solid geometry. Attendees will use HandWaver\, an immersive gesture-based environment for exploring geometric figures\, to investigate topics in geometry. Topics will include classic (compass and straightedge) and alternative geometric constructions\, investigations of measurement and dimension\, and explorations of the connections between geometry and nautical science. \nRegister Here:  https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfVjjj4zIY4U33622ZnRbdK2pis9mfC_PPI7IItDRhi3xcL2w/viewform

SUMMARY:ICTMT 13 Communications
DESCRIPTION:Handwaver: a gesture-based virtual mathematical making environment \nWe report on the design and development of HandWaver\, a gesture-based mathematical making environment for use with immersive\, room-scale virtual reality. A beta version of HandWaver was developed at the IMRE Lab at the University of Maine and released in the spring of 2017. Our goal in developing HandWaver was to harness the modes of representation and interaction available in virtual environments and use them to create experiences where learners use their hands to make and modify mathematical objects. In what follows\, we describe the sandbox construction environment\, an experience within HandWaver where learners construct geometric figures using a series of gesture-based operators\, such as stretching figures to bring them up into higher dimensions\, or revolving figures around axes that learners can position by dragging and locking. We describe plans for research and future development.

SUMMARY:RiSE Colliquim
DESCRIPTION:Explorations of volume in a gesture-based virtual mathematics laboratory \nJustin Dimmel & Camden Bock\, University of Maine \n3pm\, Monday March 20th \nHill Auditorium \nAbstract:\nA room-scale virtual-reality environment was used to investigate students’ thinking in solid geometry. These environments offer native visualization of solids and gestural interfaces\, combining affordances of physical manipulatives and dynamic geometry software from traditional desktop environments. Two students in graduate programs leading to certification in secondary science education investigated elongation and shearing of a pyramid in the virtual environment. Both participants used an analogy of volume to surface area and area to perimeter to make sense of the effects of the shearing operator. Mathematics education sits at a crossroads with emerging technologies; this study explored the potential for their use in practice. \nAbout the presenters\nJustin Dimmel is an assistant professor of mathematics education and instructional technology in the college of education and human development. He researches how digital modes of representing and interacting with mathematical objects affect student thinking and mathematical communication. Prior to his appointment at the University of Maine\, Justin completed his Ph. D. in mathematics education at the University of Michigan. \nCamden Bock is a research assistant in the College of Education and Human Development and the Maine Center for Research in STEM Education\, pursuing a MST and PhD in STEM Education with concentrations in mathematics education.  Camden works in the IMRE Lab\, under the supervision of Assistant Professor Justin Dimmel to develop HandWaver\, a room-scale gesture-based virtual environment for geometric manipulation. Prior to joining the IMRE Lab\, Camden completed a B.S. in mathematics and certification in secondary mathematics education at Bates College in Lewiston.
