     • Learning by playing
     • Usefull for learning about loops and conditional commands
     • Catches the interest of students
     • Students can see the visualization of their output instead of numerical values.

5. CULTURAL

   • Entertainment
     • Arts
       • This device will be able to reproduce some images on 3D.
     • Concerts
       • This visual entertainment some times paired with a microphone to interact with music or voices.
     • Advertising
       • Implementing this device in advertising campaigns ensures greater reach in the community.

6. SOCIAL

   • Community
     • Improve many ways of comunication, this mean, understand messages in an interactive way.
   • Students
     • Improve spatial intelligence. In Ecuador, it can help to improve the score on the colllege entrance examination. Students can observate abstract things that are not understand.
   • Sciencie
     • Could help to make simulations. graphs and other useful things.
