This project, Visual Geometry, is producing new, coordinated, multi-media geometry materials: computer-animated videotapes of three-dimensional figures for high quality visual images, associated workbooks for constructing and investigating three- dimensional figures, and a microcomputer program for interactive study of related two-dimensional geometry concepts. The Geometer's Sketchpad will be a general purpose, two-dimensional drawing program designed for constructing and manipulating geometric figures. It will be useful with both standard geometry materials and with the units produced by this project. The materials are being designed to fit into the standard high school curriculum, and will be flexible enough to be used by an entire class, small groups of students, or even for individual study. The materials are being done in a way to be appealing to people who wish to improve their visual geometry skills, even if they are not taking a geometry course. The entire program is being thoroughly and broadly tested. Additional videotapes to familiarize teachers wit the uses of the materials will also be made. There are plans for broad dissemination; the project staff will also take advantage of the growing market in home-study video. In a pilot project, the proposers have set up a microcomputer system to produce professional quality video animation of three- dimensional geometry concepts. In addition to the materials produced by the project, the staff will be able to provide software and information to others who wish to work with the media of animated videotapes and videodiscs.//

这个名为“视觉几何”的项目正在制作新的、协调的多媒体几何材料：用于高质量视觉图像的三维图形的计算机动画录像带，用于构造和研究三维图形的相关工作手册，以及用于交互研究有关二维几何概念的微型计算机程序。几何学家的素描板将是一个通用的，二维绘图程序，设计用于构造和操纵几何图形。这将是有用的标准几何材料和单位生产的这个项目。这些教材的设计是为了适应标准的高中课程，并且足够灵活，可以供整个班级、小组学生使用，甚至可以供个人学习。这些材料以一种吸引那些希望提高视觉几何技能的人的方式完成，即使他们没有参加几何课程。整个计划正在进行彻底和广泛的测试。还将制作额外的录像带，使教师熟悉教材的使用。有广泛传播的计划；项目人员还将利用家庭学习视频日益增长的市场。在一个试点项目中，提出者已经建立了一个微机系统来制作专业质量的三维几何概念视频动画。除了该项目制作的材料外，工作人员还将能够向希望使用动画录像带和录像光盘作为媒介的其他人提供软件和信息。//
