Lightspeed Activate vs ActiveLabs

Lightspeed Activate app pairs with a Lightspeed Instructional Audio system to control the Activate System, record video and audio in the classroom, and other advanced features. From their iOS device, teachers can simultaneously select individual 2-way audio Pods to listen into student small group collaboration, gaining critical insights to the learning process. Teachers can also speak to individual groups and enable student sharing from the palm of the hand. Finally, within the app, teachers can capture audio and video recordings of critical teaching and learning moments in the classroom.

This app is a demo of our product, ActiveLabs, and a VR headset that you can put your phone in is recommended. ActiveLabs is a virtual lab simulation that utilizes virtual reality and hand tracking from your camera, mainly for high school students and teachers. Labs are an essential part of science class, but in many schools, they are only done a few times a year, because of high costs and the potential case of an accident. Many schools are turning to virtual labs, which are simulations of labs on your devices, even going as far as virtual reality to simulate a lab environment better. However, these products either aren't hands-on, don't mimic a lab experience or cost-effective, offering high application costs or utilizing expensive headsets. Our product, ActiveLabs, addresses these problems the other products have. We utilize: - Virtual Reality to immerse the user into a lab environment - Hand tracking using the camera for hands-on interactivity using the ManoMotion SDK - All on your phone, to immensely save on costs for schools This application is our prototype; it is just a demo. We plan on further improving this product and adding more labs in the future.
