Problem Statement & Solution
One of the challenges in modern education is providing hands-on laboratory experiences for students, especially in schools with limited resources. Virtual labs, while valuable, still lack real-time interaction and tactile feedback.
This project aimed to bridge that gap by creating a Virtual Reality-based (VR) laboratory that allowed students to perform experiments in an immersive environment, using a haptic glove for tactile feedback. The goal was to make science education more interactive, engaging, and accessible to students everywhere.
Key Features
- Immersive VR Experience: Students can interact with virtual laboratory setups in a 3D environment.
- Haptic Feedback: A haptic glove was integrated to provide tactile feedback, simulating the feeling of handling objects in the virtual lab.
- Realistic Simulations: A wide range of experiments were developed, covering topics from chemistry to physics.
- Interactive Learning: Students could manipulate virtual tools and substances, fostering an engaging learning experience.
Benefits
- Accessible Education: Students from all regions can experience lab experiments without needing physical equipment.
- Enhanced Engagement: VR and haptic technology create an interactive, immersive environment that keeps students engaged.
- Safe and Controlled Environment: Students can conduct experiments that might be hazardous in a traditional lab setting without any risk.
