About this app

Spatial Vis is a training tool for engineering, pre-engineering, and other science and technology students. The app teaches freehand sketching of 2D and 3D views, which is an important skill for technical communication and improving one's ability to visualize shapes in 3D. These skills have been shown to increase GPAs and graduation rates in STEM.

Spatial Vis has 10 unique lessons that include orthographic projections, rotations of 3D objects, and flat patterns. Students complete assignments by sketching their solution and submitting their sketch to be automatically graded. Students have access to hints if they get stuck, but Spatial Vis is gamified to encourage students to try on their own before using the help features.

Spatial Vis is designed for students enrolled in a course at a participating institution. Instructors and students not at participating institutions may work on assignments and review the course material through the Not For Course Credit mode.

Ratings and reviews

I think this tool is great for those looking to exercise their ability to mentally visualize objects spatially (hence the name, right?). That capability for many is something they have to develop, and I think this app does a great job in that exercising. I teach drafting classes for students studying architecture and product design, and practice with this app would definitely be beneficial to some students who struggle with this proficiency. I disagree with those that say this is too hard. It is not age-appropriate for very small children, but certainly late elementary and middle school age would be fine. Yes, it grades on precision, but not overly so in my opinion. But that is sorta the point.

I love this app. Omg I wish there were way more problems to figure out. I really enjoy the 2nd section is, 5th section slopes, and 7th 8th and 9th section. Please please make more of the iso, slopes and assembly sections either in an update for this app or a new one. The challenge and mind imagination is so great this app gives you

never tried the mobile app but the website is designed badly. like just give me a straight line and a dashed line tool instead of making me hold down for an unspecified amount of time edit: tried the mobile app and it's slightly worse :D also before any of you people reply, "sometimes you have to draw circles!" there's a solution called ellipses tool, curved line tool, or using your mouse for just those specifically
