SimLabDisplay keeps a dental simulation lab running FOR STUDENTS See where you are and what's next without asking. Your station, your progress and what you still owe are on your phone at the bench. Mark work complete, photograph what you've done, and raise your hand when you need help — your professor sees it on the room's board. FOR FACULTY The whole room at once. Who is at which station, who is waiting, and who has been stuck the longest. Sign off work, move students between benches, and see at a glance who won't finish today. BUILT FOR HOW A SIM LAB ACTUALLY RUNS • Limited stations with waiting lists, so a bottleneck is managed rather than queued at • Foundation activities students move between freely • Attendance by rotating code, QR code or NFC tag • Photo submission for work that needs review • Class announcements and messages • End-of-day reports showing who finished and who didn't SimLabDisplay is used by dental schools to run preclinical simulation labs. Accounts are provided by your school.
