Virtual model of an atom

About The Project

The idea of ProjectZero was interesting. This was my high school chemistry creative project; a presentation for a chosen element from the periodic table. Instead of using presentation tools like PowerPoint, I decided to make an 3D animated figure of the atom using Java in Processing. The purpose of the project at first was that I found coding is enjoyable, but I think the virtualization of the atom could help students better understanding in the subject, and I believe I can bring joy to others' learning experience.

Roadmap

• Adding nucleus and electron rotating around the nucleus as circles.
• Used PeasyCam to trasfer the model from 2D to 3D
• Vỉtual 3D control
  • Using mouse
  • Using keyboard
  • Make a user-friendly IU
