GeoGebra 4.0 Release
Development News
The developers met in person for the first time at the conference on 29-31 Aug 2011 at International GeoGebra Conference Hagenberg near Linz, Austria. They identified the following possible areas to investigate and work on over the next few years:
- GeoGebra Web refactoring: one code base
- 3D algorithms for parametric surfaces, intersecting curves
- 3D input devices: eg Kinect, head-tracking with a webcam
- Non-Euclidian view for spherical / hyperbolic geometry: using 3D code
- Barycentric coordinates, triangle centers
- Interactive Whiteboard Improvements
- Making GeoGebra run faster and identifying bugs more quickly
- Turning a locus into an Implicit Curve automatically
- Proving & symbolic computations
- USB Logging eg Vernier Go!Motion, Kinect, Phoenix
- Equation Editor: interface & spreadsheet
- Moodle: connection to GeoGebra, exercises
- Spreadsheet / Statistics enhancements
- Online translation (instead of Attesoro)
- Python Scripting
