My First App: VR Visualization of Solids of Revolution
My first published Android app, a Google Cardboard VR experience for visualizing Calculus Solids of Revolution, built with Unity and the Cardboard SDK.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is a solid of revolution in calculus?
A solid of revolution is a 3D shape created by rotating a 2D curve around an axis. In calculus, you calculate the volume of these shapes using disk, washer, or shell methods by integrating the cross-sectional areas.
How does VR help visualize calculus concepts?
VR lets you see solids of revolution from any angle and watch them form in real time as a curve spins around an axis. This spatial understanding is difficult to grasp from static textbook diagrams but becomes intuitive when you can walk around the shape.
What devices can run VR calculus apps?
This app runs on Google Cardboard, which works with most smartphones. Just slide your phone into a Cardboard viewer to see the 3D visualizations in VR.
