The Tipping Point Game
Welcome to the Tube Tilt Experiment! Your task is to determine the 'tipping point' at which a virtual tube will fall over. Think carefully about the exact point where a tipped tube transitions from going straight back up again to falling down. We want to know the smallest angle in which it fall over. See video for more details.
The tube will be sitting on a table, and the direction of the tilt is indicated by an arrow. Use the left and right arrow keys to adjust the tilt, and press the space bar when you believe you've reached this critical angle.
Your precision in finding this delicate balance will be key to the experiment's success. Good luck!
Find the Tipping Point (smallest angle to tip)! Use to tilt
the tube in the direction indicated. The faces are looking at the color of the tube, and can be ignored.
When you think you have found the tipping point, press SPACE BAR.
