Learning Chaos in an Interactive Virtual Museum

Abstract

Abstract — This paper describes a virtual museum which introduces the interactive VR and MEMS applications related to the learning of chaos and complexity theories. In this museum, the user can learn the history of the dynamical systems and build the Chua’s circuit, connecting it to an interactive screen in order to visualize chaotic behavior, and changing the systems parameters. Thus he/she will realize artistic artifacts, transforming attractors into sounds and music. Regarding the educational path, we carried out an experimentation with students of different school rankings. Then, we used these emotional- driven activities to implement the Virtual Museum of Chua’s Attractors, also with the aim to widen the experimentation by the net. The paper presents a description of the virtual museum architecture and a detailed explanation of its applications. Index Terms—Chaos, Virtual learning technologies, Science dissemination.
