To involve the staff in a change process, of which the installation or improvement of a ventilation system is one example, is also of vital importance for a successful result. Their knowledge of how the work is or may be done in an effective way, combined with the knowledge of the ventilation expert, increases the chance for an effective and durable solution of an air quality problem. Visualization methods have thereby proved to be effective both to communicate important knowledge and to motivate the staff to take part in the process. ...

The mental constructions, the thought-forms, we build in our practices are like the reins of a chariot drawn by powerful horses. The reins control, direct, and harness the motive power. 

Compelling visualization is a defining characteristic of modem software. The three-dimensional models of atomistic simulations in particular are very effective in nurturing an intuitive sense for molecular systems. Operating an apparently intelligent, interactive, and very visual piece of software also offers students a steady stream of motivational experiences—a benefit appreciated by any instructor.
