About Looking Glass™
|
 Looking Glass™ is a geometric optics construction set that allows students to create and explore situations involving several objects, lenses, mirrors and images. This software takes an interactive, visual approach to physics. Looking Glass™ will help students develop an intuition for the effect of lenses and mirrors on light rays. Students will gain a better understanding of the physics behind the images. By creating and exploring their own lenses and mirrors with Looking Glass™, students encounter many of the core concepts in optics.
Looking Glass™ was designed for use in high school and college physics studies. The software offers convex and concave lenses and mirrors; virtual and real images; thin-lens modeling; and mks units. Online help and tutorials are provided to help teachers integrate the software into their curriculum.
With Looking Glass™, students can now explore the behavior of lenses and mirrors using only their computer, Living Graph Paper™ and their imagination.
