Why useful in physics education?

• Powerful visualisation of complex systems
• Visual impact better to memorise (seeing is
  believing)
• Perfect to be viewed by large adiences (lt-gt
  physical models)
• Interactive encourages exploration

Relatively cheap (permanent) installation
integrates well intoauditorium infrastructure 1
