“Project Tuva”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

Project Tuva was officially released at the Microsoft Research Faculty Summit, July 13 and 14, 2009.^[4] At its inception, Project Tuva included video of the lectures with expert commentary from Stephen D. Ellis of the University of Washington and the Student Physics Society at the University of Washington. The Silverlight application also includes text search over transcripts (which are shown synchronized with the video), support for time-stamped note-taking, and "Extras" that complement the video with external links, formulae, interactive demonstrations, and embedded WorldWide Telescope astronomical objects and tours. Upon release the Extras and commentary were only available for the first of the seven lectures: The Law of Gravitation - An Example of Physical Law. In April 2011, Tuva was updated with new content and extras curated by MIT Jane and Otto Morningstar Professor of Physics Robert Jaffe. Then, in July 2016, the Project Tuva Silverlight application was retired. The videos are still available on the Microsoft Research Website.

The project gets its name from a late-life goal of Feynman's; namely, that he would someday travel to the Siberian land of Tuva.^[5] Unfortunately, he was never allowed to travel to Tuva during his lifetime, with permission from the Soviet government coming the day following his death. The name then invokes the idea that a dream of his is now accomplished – not, of course, traveling to Tuva, but rather that the world may now be able to appreciate physics the way he did.

The original design for Project Tuva was carried out by Artefact.^[6]{{sps|date=June 2015}} Stimulant provided refinements and developed the experience in Silverlight.{{citation needed|date=June 2015}}
