    Kubbu is a new site that allows teachers to create activities to aid the learning process. Teachers enter the data and deploy it via several different activity types. They can then track the usage and results from these activities. In this sense, Kubbu is very similar to Quia.

    I have heard about these type of devices before, but I think this is the first time I have seen them available for use by the public. Not exactly sure why they chose lights as the reactant, but I suspect it has something to do with the unique alpha/beta waves created by the brain in response ot lighting. Question is, which comes first the thought or the light bulb?

    Do 3-D interfaces cause headaches? Potential trouble for immersive visuals as 3-D interfaces require unnatural eye movements which may result in visually induced motion sickness. More popcorn please.

    I didn't end up with any ill effects, but I noticed that your inability to focus on objects on different levels of the 3D plane is unnerving. Often there would be interesting flora in the foreground, and because it's in 3D, you want to look at it but you can't focus your eyes on it.
