The future of learning is interactive 3d.
I am convinced that visualizing 3d is the way we'll learn how things work in the future.
I fell in love with 3d programming when I created a 3d controlling program in the power plant at Fairview Developmental Center in Costa Mesa, California.
I did it before the large game programs took over as the premier way of creating scenes in 3d. I did it using OpenGL, a 3d engine that was bare bones, with a language, C++, that doesn't work well on the internet because of its power being limited to local machines.
It can do too much damage. Now we're creating methods to use C++ over the internet but I still find it too cumbersome to present 3d. Game engines running in similar languages need huge downloads.
Anyway, even before using OpenGl, the language of 3d, I was messing around with Microsoft's early ventures into 3d around 1995. I've been programming since early 1982 or so. Not sure of the exact year.
Here is a view of the work in 3d at Fairview. It shows its power.

When you look at this video, you can see i had a firm grasp of how to present 3d to the world. Both as a way to see what was taking place in the world of power plants but also the ability to show the world hidden from our view in a way that can make it understandable.
Much of the world is hidden from our view and visualizing this world in a simple animated way is how we will be able to learn our environments.
We have a temporary step in that direction with video, but video is a 2d sibling that is limited to a flat linear view of the world.
To really experience the world within and without, you need to spark curiosity. The way to do that is to allow the user to decide where to go in any visualization. They need to be able to drill down into a subject until that curiosity is filled with a view that explains the subject to their fill.
Humans are currently filled with flat 2d visualizations. Movies, videos, books and magazines, show a linear view that doesn't encompass the world around a subject. Its great for the imagination. If you're viewing a room in a movie, you can imagine what the room looks like behind the camera but you don't know. You cant turn to see it.
If youre looking at an atom or a mitochondria, you want to be able to look around. To see its inner workings. And ask questions, how does what im touching work? Can I go deeper into its workings?
In a game, you can travel, in 3d, to the world around you and the game engines are mastering how to do that. A game, though, is not conducive to learning an environment. Its fun and you get to go where you want to go but it has limitations. Its not a teacher.
Nvidia is beginning to escape into 3d viewing of your factory and other worlds by creating what they call a metaverse. Glasses that can present 3d from your phone and VR units are the beginning of the escape from 2d visualizing worlds.
My problem is this. There was no way to easily present 3d visualizations, that can be manipulated and viewed as a learning tool without using huge engines. Although I tried. I learned how to use Blender, Unreal, Unity, Autocad, which presented a way to see your new building, in 3d, before it was built. And many others.
To use these, though, you need huge programs. These need to run locally. The new world, though, is the Internet. Its a way to present 3d without huge temporary downloads.
So now I've created a program that can view scenes in an immediate way. Jump to a webpage and you can immediately see interactive 3d scenes with controls and a way to drill down. Although, most of my drill downs are 2d videos created by other people showing how a particular thing works. That'll change.
Learning is different than being entertained. The future of learning is interactive 3d.
So that's it. Im creating an internet program that uses the Javascript language. It can present information in a 3d way. It'll grow. It'll evolve. Currently, a lot of what I do, in 3d, is limited to the subject im on, which is what happens to your cell when you fast. It though, can do more.
I'll use it to create the trip to Paradise from the Urantia book. Or how the father creates life. That is, if my vision holds out. So fasting is my way to save my sight from Wet Macular Degeneration. Im still not 100% sure i don't need the shots in my eyes. Or that I can slow my aging, even reverse it.
If im right about Lysosomes, I can reverse some of these old age symptoms. Time will tell. Im still capable, at 74 years old, to visualize and create programs that run in 3d, on the internet. AI has helped tremendously. AI, though, is a long way from overseeing program creation. Its powerful, but I cant see it overseeing where to go and how to get there yet.
I'm not worried about the future with AI. There will be bad actors that are blind to life. Blind to their being. Blind to the world within them. Who really believe that beingness comes from thing. And they will do damage, but, they are just pimples on the ass of progress.
