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.

About

InSight Platform®

Explore the human body with augmented reality and tactile feedback. This app allows students to visualize anatomical structures at a microscopic level and interact with real-time simulations. Educators can also control scenarios to enhance learning experiences.

  • Microscopic level visualization
  • Real-time simulation interaction
  • Educator-controlled scenarios
  • Vitals and patient attribute changes
  • Tactile and visual feedback
Read full description

The InSight Platform® is a comprehensive simulation technology that uses augmented reality (AR) layered with tactile and visual feedback to enable students to connect concepts to practice and develop critical decision-making skills. The InSight Platform’s mobile application allows students, educators, and administrators to add to their experience using two distinct feature sets: 1) InSight Lens allows students to explore the human body on their own personal device and observe critical anatomical structures such as the heart, lungs, and brain at a microscopic level. Students can also connect the InSight Lens to the InSight Platform®, enabling them to follow along with scenarios that are being run in the simulation lab on their individual devices. They can observe change in vitals, the effect of physical interactions, as well as other visual feedback in real-time using the app. 2) The Smart Controller, which is more educator-facing, can be used to add variability to scenarios on the fly by changing vitals, patient attributes, moulage, and a range of other features. The controller runs in sync with the InSight Platform® and provides the flexibility for educators and administrators to drive scenario changes from their own devices. Any user who has an account with the InSight Platform® automatically has access to the mobile application which is a powerful learning tool for gaining a greater visual understanding of the pathologies of the body. Reach out to contact@lumiscorp.com if you have questions about gaining access to the mobile application or acquiring the InSight Platform® for your program.
