<h3>Welcome to 3DVOL – Minerals.</h3><br><br>
|
||
<p>
|
||
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>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><p>Which are the most common minerals on Earth?</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>What are their most important physical and chemical properties?</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Where in the Earth and under which physical conditions do they form?</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>How can they be identified in hand specimen?</p></li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<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.
|
||
<br>
|
||
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
