About
the project

This project was a proof of concept for transforming real lab equipment into digital simulations, it included:

  • Browser-rendered 3D graphics represent a cutting-edge approach to immersive learning experiences. The dynamic visuals not only captivate students but also offer interactive exploration and tactile feedback, enriching their understanding and retention of complex concepts.
  • By scanning physical objects and converting them into 3D models, educators can create virtual laboratories that mirror real-world scenarios, providing students with valuable hands-on experience in a virtual environment.
  • This seamless integration of real-world objects into browser-rendered 3D simulations enhances engagement and facilitates deeper learning, demonstrating the transformative potential of technology in education.
