Immersive VR Chemistry Lab
Explore Divination Reality Labs’ Immersive VR Chemistry Lab, a virtual science lab that lets students safely experiment and visualize reactions at the molecular level.
Challenge
Real chemistry labs are expensive, dangerous, and limited in scope. Real labs require expensive equipment and strict safety protocols, which limit what students can try. Many learners memorize equations without truly understanding what happens at the molecular level.
Approach
We created a dual-layered simulation. It functions as a "Limitless Sandbox" where users can mix any chemicals without safety risks, while offering an large number of reactions in the VR environment.
Features
• Photorealistic virtual chemistry lab environment
• Safe experimentation with reactions that are risky in real life
• Originally pioneered as a mobile AR/VR app; now extended for high-end VR
• Flexible use for high school, college, and informal STEM education
From discovery to measurable outcomes
Discovery
Hospital leadership identified the training gap and defined success metrics with our team.
Design
We conducted cognitive task analysis and designed the simulation architecture around measurable learning objectives.
Build
Our developers created the environment in Unity while researchers integrated biometric tracking systems.
Validate
Multiple cohorts trained in the simulation. We collected performance data and compared outcomes to traditional methods.
Deploy
The hospital integrated the simulation into their residency program with ongoing data collection and refinement.
