ABSTRACT
The understanding and visualization of the solids of revolution can be challenging for students due to the abstract nature of the topic. This paper presents the development and evaluation of a novel interactive Virtual Reality (VR) application framework designed to enhance students' comprehension and spatial reasoning skills related to solids of revolution. The tool offers interactive 3D visualization of arbitrary functions of standard 2D graphs and solids of revolution. The methodology involves utilizing Unity to create the 3D objects and implementing algorithms for generating surfaces of revolution. At this stage, the tool is evaluated through a comparison with other related works through comprehensive comparisons and literature review. The findings indicate that the developed application offers improved interactivity by adeptly managing complexity. Moreover, employing Unity to create interactive learning tools for visualizing 3D objects can effectively enhance students' understanding of complex mathematical concepts.
