We are constructing 3 D theater for undergraduate study of Faculty of Science, at Chiba University. This theater consists of a graphic workstation (ONYX2) and bright DLP projector, by which we are able to project time-divided stereo-graphic image. 3D theater is a powerful tool to give a virtual image of astrophysical phenomena of which one may have a trouble to construct because of large difference in space-time scales from daily life. As a pilot curriculum of this theater, we are now creating a 3D software for Galactic stellar system with Hipparcos data. In this program, all stars from Hipparcos Catalogue are plotted in 3D space with their color and brightness. Some astrophysical objects, e.g., molecular clouds, are also included. When zoomed into the molecular cloud, on line simulation image of bipolar flow (jet) from protostar is given by MHD simulation of accreting disk around young stellar object.
