With the CASSY App, students and teachers can measure, observe and analyse using CASSY – on an iPad or iPhone. It’s simple and practical for everyday use: just type in the PIN from the CASSY display or scan the QR code and start measuring straight away. - Free experimentation without fixed experimental parameters - Group measurements: connect up to 4 devices to a single CASSY simultaneously - Live measurement results on an external display in digital and analogue displays, tables and diagrams - Free configuration of measurements - Comparison of multiple measurements - Individual evaluation per student - Save results and load measured values for analysis - Exam mode for exam security (configurable via CASSY teaching profiles on our LeyLab online portal) - Can be used without internet access The CASSY App supports all CASSY sensors and the following CASSY devices: - Mobile-CASSY 2 WiFi (524 005W2, 524 005W) - Power Analyser CASSY (727 101, 727 111) - Machine Test CASSY (773 1901, 773 2901) - Converter Controller CASSY (773 5291) - Power Control CASSY (773 530) You can obtain a compatible CASSY and the sensors from LD DIDACTIC GmbH.

About

AR.X Optics

This app uses augmented reality to overlay virtual objects onto real-world environments, transforming placeholder cards into interactive science experiments. It currently focuses on optics, allowing users to explore concepts like lasers, mirrors, and lenses with accurate physical modeling.

Highlights
  • Augmented reality for virtual object overlay
  • Interactive science experiment simulations
  • Focus on optics (lasers, mirrors, lenses)
  • Accurate physical modeling of phenomena
  • Use of placeholder cards for AR activation

„Augmented Reality“ (kurz AR) ermöglicht die Ergänzung einer realen Umgebung mit virtuellen Objekten, Einblendungen und der Einbindung von Erläuterungen. Durch die AR-Anwendung ist eine Simulation von Experimenten als Demonstrations- oder Schülerversuch in natürlicher Umgebung mit authentischen Repräsentationen möglich, die ohne Abstraktion auf schematische Darstellungen auskommt. Die vorgestellte APP erfasst durch die Kamera eines mobilen Endgerätes reale Platzhalterkarten, die durch AR in echte Experimentiergelegenheiten umgewandelt werden. Derzeit unterstützt die App ARX* das Themengebiet der Optik , wobei Objekte wie Laser, Spiegel, Linse oder Prisma in beliebigen Konstellationen arrangiert und unter diversen Fragestellungen untersucht werden können. Die physikalischen Eigenschaften, inklusive Fehlern und Interferenzeffekten, werden korrekt modelliert. Die Anwendung soll auch in andere Themengebiete übertragen werden. Damit werden in AR Experimente ermöglicht, die aus finanziellen, organisatorischen oder sicherheitstechnischen Gründen ansonsten nicht von den Lernenden umgesetzt werden könnten.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: AR.X Optics at 75% against CASSY App's 60%. AR.X Optics also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
