Archimedes Geo3D

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Archimedes Geo3D is a software package for dynamic geometry in three dimensions. It was released in Germany in March 2006 and has won an award for outstanding educational software by the German government in 2007 [1].

[edit] Basic features

Archimedes Geo3D allows the construction of points, lines, planes, spheres, triangles, circles and their intersections. Objects can be moved, the rest of the construction changes accordingly.

[edit] Advanced features

Archimedes Geo3D can trace the movement of points, lines, segments and circles and generate locus lines and locus surfaces this way. Arbitrary objects can be intersected with lines, locus lines and planes. Archimedes Geo3D is the only interactive geometry software in three dimensions to implement those features (Goebel 2007, p. 60)
