With 3D virtual reality the Draw window can be rotated and zoomed in. The turtle can be viewed from any angle, this enables a completely new dimension to viewing turtle graphics. The transparent base the turtle draws on can be viewed from underneath, giving a different insight into turtle graphics. The base can be flipped over and rotated.
VR Logo works at three levels.
Level 1 For very young children Level 1 will just enable the turtle to be moved around forward and backwards, left and right. Movements forward and back are limited to a fixed amount. Left and right is limited to 90 degrees. In this mode no lines are drawn.
Level 2 enables angles to be introduced and units to be increased or decreased. With Level 2 a trail is left after the turtle moves. The pencolor maybe changed.
Level 3 enables Commands to be entered that introduce simple programming, children can use simple commands like FORWARD 10, RIGHT 90 or PENUP.
Graphical drawings produced can be printed. Pictures can be loaded for the 3D turtle to draw over.
