She discovers how a tablet computer can be used to view a virtual car in three dimensions or explore the anatomy of a virtual human being. The principle behind this technology is called parallax, a field primarily used in astronomy. This clip is from the BBC series Beneath the Lab Coat, in which Rani Price meets young scientists working at the cutting edge of British industry. From cybernetics and fashion, to sport, space exploration and the chemical makeup of sun cream, she discovers the huge range of exciting career possibilities in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths.

GCSE Computer Science/ Physics This clip could be used to illustrate the ways in which new technologies are affecting design and technology, or to illustrate how designers build on their science education to develop careers in exciting industries. National 4/5 Technologies This clip could be used to illustrate the ways in which new technologies are affecting design, or to illustrate how designers build on their science education to develop careers in exciting industries. Students could brainstorm potential uses for this augmented reality technology. They could consider the benefits and drawbacks, and look at how google glass and other proposed innovations aim to get round some of these problems. This clip will be relevant for teaching Computer Science and Physics at KS3 and KS4 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and National 4 and 5 in Scotland. It is also relevant for National 4/5 Technologies. It could be used in PSHE as a prompt to think about STEM careers. ===================== For more clips from other subjects at the BBC Teach YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/bbcteach More from BBC Learning Zone: http://www.bbc.co.uk/learningzone More resources from BBC Bitesize: http://www.bbc.co.uk/education ===================== Subscribe to create your own customised playlists, and get notified about our latest clips.
