Amrita OLabs has become one of the most popular platforms over the last few years since the labs can be accessed anywhere, anytime. To make Online Science Educational Labs more accessible, an AR/VR component for select labs is under development. Students can effortlessly access error-free real-time visualizations of science labs from anywhere, anytime.
The immersive teaching-learning experience employs elements of gamification that drive user engagement. Moreover, instruction provided to the learner using Virtual Labs also reduces teaching time. At the same time, the AR/VR experience as a differential teaching tool can help increase learner motivation in students with special needs. Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and other lower-class science labs are under development.
