Universe (Danish Amusement Park)
Universe (formerly Danfoss Universe) is a Danish amusement and science park on the island of Als southeast of Jutland. The park's vision is to create amazement around natural science, technology and entrepreneurship. Visitors learn about science through activities, experiences, and acquire knowledge about the world in which it occurs. Universe is noticeably different from other Danish amusement parks in the fact that learning is the linchpin for all the rides, experiences and amusements. The park motto is "The attraction park, where fun is a science". In 2017 new attractions are a number of virtual reality experiences, SkyTrail climbing tower, electric cars, 5D simulator, astronomy dome and a Chinese garden.

Virtual Reality
Virtual reality (VR) is a simulated experience that employs pose tracking and 3D near-eye displays to give the user an immersive feel of a virtual world. Applications of virtual reality include entertainment (particularly video games), education (such as medical or military training) and business (such as virtual meetings). Other distinct types of VR-style technology include augmented reality and mixed reality, sometimes referred to as extended reality or XR, although definitions are currently changing due to the nascence of the industry. Currently, standard virtual reality systems use either virtual reality headsets or multi-projected environments to generate realistic images, sounds and other sensations that simulate a user's physical presence in a virtual environment. A person using virtual reality equipment is able to look around the artificial world, move around in it, and interact with virtual features or items. The effect is commonly created by VR headsets consisting ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Multiple Intelligences
The theory of multiple intelligences proposes the differentiation of human intelligence into specific modalities of intelligence, rather than defining intelligence as a single, general ability. The theory has been criticized by mainstream psychology for its lack of empirical evidence, and its dependence on subjective judgement. Separation criteria According to the theory, an intelligence 'modality' must fulfill eight criteria: # potential for brain isolation by brain damage # place in evolutionary history # presence of core operations # susceptibility to encoding (symbolic expression) # a distinct developmental progression # the existence of savants, prodigies and other exceptional people # support from experimental psychology # support from psychometric findings Intelligence modalities In ''Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences'' (1983) and its sequels, Howard Gardner proposed eight abilities that manifest multiple intelligences.
