With the XRTL, you can conveniently access your experiments in the laboratory from anywhere.
Access to the service
The showcase experiment (the real experiment) of the Michelson Interferometer is set up in the foyer of the Abbe Center of Photonics (Beutenberg-Campus, Albert-Einstein-Straße 6 in Jena) and can be controlled remotely using the following tool:
To the XR TwinlabFor whom
The Showcase trial and the Git repository are freely accessible to everyone.
Description
A Twin Lab is a virtual twin, in this case, for example, a remotely controllable practical physics experiment. This is set up with high-quality optical components in one of our laboratories and at the same time fully synchronized in space and time with a virtual twin that is accessible on a browser interface. Every change in the virtual environment is also implemented on the experiment table and observed via camera.
During the COVID pandemic, we introduced the concept of the XR TwinLab (XRTL) and has since been tested on numerous occasions and presented internationally.
Possible applications and technical functions
XRTL enables remote access to a real experimental setup around the clock and from anywhere in the world. This concept can be applied to a wide range of subject areas outside photonics. Among other things, it can be used for online teaching to lower educational barriers.
Our open source approach combines web control with VR/AR integration and makes it possible to experience optical experiments regardless of location.
