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.

Dencity: AI Science Lab for Classes 6-12 (CBSE, ICSE, State Boards) Learn science by actually doing it. Dencity is a Virtual Science Lab for Classes 6-12, built to support CBSE, ICSE, and State Boards with interactive learning in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. 400+ Interactive 3D Experiments in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology Explore 400+ experiments in a fully interactive 3D science lab simulator. Use the virtual lab to repeat experiments safely, test outcomes, and build strong understanding through practical learning. Step-by-Step Guidance with Theory Every experiment comes with step-by-step guidance and supporting theory, so students know what to do, what to observe, and why it works. Perfect for classroom teaching and self-learning. Physics: Change Parameters and See Instant Results Perform Physics experiments in mechanics, energy, thermodynamics, fluids, waves, optics, space concepts, and more. Change parameters, control objects, and observe real-time changes in outcomes inside the 3D lab. Chemistry: Mix Chemicals Safely in 3D Run Chemistry experiments without real-world risks. Mix chemicals, adjust quantities, vary concentration and conditions, and observe reactions in a controlled virtual lab. Interactive experiments make core chemistry concepts clearer and more memorable. Biology: Anatomy + Botany (Plants, Leaf, and More) Learn Biology through visual, interactive 3D learning. Explore Anatomy and expand into Botany topics like plants, leaf structure, and related life-science concepts. Observe parts clearly, interact with models, and understand systems with better clarity than static diagrams. Real-Time Calculations and Clear Understanding Dencity shows real-time calculations during experiments, helping students connect observations with the science behind them. Combine this with theory and interaction to strengthen conceptual clarity. Virtual Classroom Collaboration Teachers and students can join a virtual classroom, run experiments together, and transfer control seamlessly for guided learning, doubt solving, and collaborative exploration.
