Stuck on a physics problem? Just take a photo. **PhysicsLab AI** uses AI to analyse physics problems from photos and deliver complete step-by-step solutions โ the topic, given values, the key formula, fully worked calculations, and the final answer. **Solve Any Physics Problem** Point your camera at any physics question and PhysicsLab AI identifies the topic, extracts the given values, applies the correct law, and walks you through every step. Covers mechanics, thermodynamics, optics, electricity, and waves. Powered by Google Gemini AI. **20+ Interactive Experiments** Build real intuition with hands-on simulations across four branches of physics: inclined planes, projectile motion, and spring oscillators in Mechanics; ideal gas law and heat transfer in Thermodynamics; lens and mirror equations in Optics; and Ohm's law with live circuit diagrams in Circuits. Drag sliders and watch every value update instantly. **Flash Cards & Solve History** Study with 40 built-in formula flash cards covering all major physics topics. Every problem you solve is saved locally on your device โ search by topic and revisit past work anytime. **Perfect For** โข High school and university physics students โข Anyone working through problem sets or exam preparation โข Teachers looking for instant worked examples โข Curious minds who want to understand the physical world **About Physics Problem Solving** PhysicsLab AI covers the full range of standard physics topics: Newton's laws, pressure and buoyancy, thermodynamics, wave optics, Ohm's law, and more. Solutions are generated by Google Gemini (via Replicate) and are intended for educational reference. Always verify important work with your teacher or textbook. **Privacy First** All solve history is stored locally on your device. Photos are only sent for AI analysis and are never stored on any server.
LabOptique

Examine various aspects of geometric and wave optics: - Geometric optics: thin lenses, the concept of approximate stigmatism, depth of field, vision of the eye (accommodation, etc.). Possibility of combining multiple lenses, an eye... - Wave optics: from the concept of path difference (for senior year students) to the effects of a glass plate, the concept of coherence length..., in various situations: infinitely narrow or wide Youngโs slits or holes, freely movable sources to recreate a Michelson interferometer, a diffraction grating, a Lloyd mirror, using either a monochromatic source or white light.

Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: LabOptique at 15.0 against PhysicsLab AI's 17.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
