Overview
ScienceAR Lab is an interactive web platform that teaches Physics and Chemistry through 3D/AR-style visualizations. It turns abstract STEM concepts into hands-on, explorable simulations that run in the browser.
Problem
Students struggle to grasp complex scientific concepts due to passive learning and limited lab access. Schools face safety, cost, and equipment constraints for real experiments.
Solution
A browser-based lab with interactive 3D simulations and guided infographics, plus a lightweight achievements system to boost motivation. It works on standard hardware and can scale to any classroom.
How it Works
- Physics: Pendulum motion, wave propagation, magnetic field lines, electric circuits, Newton’s Laws infographic.
- Chemistry: Molecular structures (H₂O, methane, ethanol, benzene), crystal lattices, periodic table, photosynthesis, biochemistry.
- Controls: Rotate/Pan/Zoom; modular navigation via Next.js App Router.
- Engagement: Progress tracking and unlockable achievements.
