Discover how math turns real actors’ movements into lifelike video game characters using motion capture technology, cameras, and geometry.
We help middle and high school math teachers engage students with free video clips showcasing real-world applications of everyday math concepts.
Why Math Matters
- Learn how CNC machines use math to carve precise shapes from metal, wood, and plastic. Explore coordinates, distances, and accuracy that make manufacturing possible.
- Learn how VR headsets like the Oculus Quest 3 use math to track your position in a room. Explore how coordinates, vectors, and distance measurements bring virtual worlds to life.
- Discover how math powers injection molding, the process behind billions of LEGO bricks. Learn about geometry, flow equations, and quality control that ensure perfect parts every time.
- Learn how survivorship bias misleads us by ignoring missing data. Explore the World War II plane example, modern success stories, and how math helps us make better decisions.
