Scientific Essay from the year 2019 in the subject Computer Science - General, grade: keine, University of Applied Sciences Bremen, language: English, abstract: In this paper, we describe the utilization and genesis of an interactive website you can use to create and display different conic sections. A conic section (conic) result from a plane intersecting a double cone. Depending on the height and the angle of the plane, the conic can be an ellipse, a parabola, or a hyperbola. You can use the keyboard keys W and S to move the plane up and down. A and D rotate the plane. Pressing the left mouse button, you can orbit the camera around the scenery.
