This site is about teaching and learning electromagnetic (EM) plane wave reflection and transmission using 3-D TV. The 3-D contents comprising left and right images are generated in real time by a program on notebook PC. Projected onto the 3-D TV screen, these images will combine appropriately to enable stereoscopic view through the use of 3-D glasses. To enhance interactive teaching and learning, the notebook PC can be controlled remotely, e.g. using wireless keyboard and mouse. Besides 3-D TV, a standalone app is also available on mobile device to provide more effective touch-based interactivity, while allowing seamless teaching and learning anytime, anywhere, see https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/emwavert/id1387286837?mt=8
The mobile app and notebook PC program are applicable to EM plane wave reflection and transmission for general oblique incidence and polarization. The instructor is able to input or change various parameters and rotate the view angles for interactive teaching. Based on the parameters, the 3-D animations of incident, reflected and transmitted waves can be visualized in real time. Through different cases of incident angles, the visualizations on 3-D TV can be illustrated and compared. The stereoscopic visualization on 3-D TV is demonstrated to exhibit protruding field vectors, thus providing additional depth perception. This allows the students to identify clearly each wave and improves their learning of plane wave reflection and transmission.
