what is materialworlds Materialworlds is a real-time simulation environment for personal computers that runs a growing set of specially written simulations Unlike a video or animation which merely replays a preset sequence of images the objects in a simulation interact with each other as you watch Viewers can participate too as games players and experimentors changing the view onto the simulation or the speed at which it runs or actively changing the course of the simulation by tweaking a control or pulling an object with the mouse Materialworlds simulations are set into web pages providing a flexible format for organizing the text controls live graphs and multiple views that are available for constructing a simulation Web authors can modify the presentation of existing simulations or select elements of existing simulations in building new web pages And of course web pages don't need to be viewed on the web they can
