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.

This opportunity provided us the chance to stress test out the equipment and see what limits we might have. It was also a chance to use our model in multiple outputs.

This software was originally built for CD-Rom in 1999. By 2024 a lot of the interactive elements no longer worked and this project was initiated to revive and update this great resource.
