This website contains a three-dimensional virtual object library of the most important rock-forming minerals making up planet Earth. You will find information on:<br>

|

<li>Which are the most common minerals on Earth?</li>
|
||||
<li>What are their most important physical and chemical properties?</li>
|
||||
<li>Where in the Earth and under which physical conditions do they form?</li>
|
||||
<li>How can they be identified in hand specimen?</li>

A mineral is typically defined as an inorganic solid with a particular chemical composition and a characteristic, periodic atomic structure.

<p>A mineral is typically defined as an inorganic solid with a particular chemical composition and a characteristic, periodic atomic structure.
|
||||
This characteristic atomic make-up is often reflected in the macroscopic crystalline structure of a mineral.
|
||||
The 3D models presented on this website will help you to visualise, study, and memorise these beautiful and often
|
||||
complex crystal structures as well as other diagnostic features of minerals.
|
||||

|
||||
We hope that you enjoy using 3DVOL.

DISCLAIMER
|
||||
<br /><br />
|
||||
This website is a prototype and in statu nascendi. Our development team will continue to add 3D models and associated information
|
||||
and metadata. Various modules do not work yet, for example, the self-practice section. In addition, the website only works with
|
||||
Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome at the moment. The website can only be accessed from within the QUT network.
|
||||
If you would like to access it from home, you will need to use QUT VPN to do so.
|
||||
<br /><br />
|
||||
However, we would appreciate if you would have a play with the existing models. We try to evaluate how useful a website
|
||||
like this could be as a complementary teaching tool. Further developments require a lot of man hours and hence funding.
|
||||
If we can demonstrate that you, the user, deem this website interesting and potentially useful we have a good chance to
|
||||
continue our work on 3DVOL. Hence, we kindly ask you to provide your valued feedback. To this end, we set up a short survey,
|
||||
which you can access via this URL: <a href="http://app.gosoapbox.com/">http://app.gosoapbox.com/</a>. The access code is: 3dvol
|
||||
<br /><br />
|
||||
Alternatively, we are also happy to receive feedback and comments via e-mail. Please, feel free to contact any of the people below.
|
||||
<br /><br />
|
||||
Thanks a lot and happy exploring,
|
||||
<br />
|
||||
Your 3DVOL team
