Dear Colleagues,
Our laboratory creates a learning city layout (something like http://www.miniatur-wunderland.com/) for distance learning. The layout will be made in two versions. The first one consists of houses, roads, trains, parks, factories, agricultural fields, weather sensors and natural phenomena (the diurnal variation of illumination, fog, wind, etc.). Students will be able to remotely manage the natural phenomena and use weather sensors and webcams to estimate the weather effect on city management, transport, energetics, agriculture, etc. The second version will be an exact copy of the first one but in the virtual reality (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_reality). Both versions will be available for students via the Internet.
Best regards,
Vladimir
