Edtech Science Labs VR Prototyping

Project Description

🧪🎓 EdTech Science Labs VR Prototyping

🌍 Overview

We’re looking for a VR Developer / EdTech Innovator to design and prototype immersive virtual science labs for students and institutions. The goal is to create a virtual reality learning environment where users can conduct interactive science experiments in subjects like physics, chemistry, and biology — from anywhere in the world.

This project merges education technology, VR simulation, and gamification to make science learning engaging, safe, and scalable for the next generation of digital learners.

🎯 Main Objective / Task

• Develop a VR prototype of interactive science labs, focusing on one or more disciplines (e.g., chemistry simulations, biology experiments, or physics labs).
• Create realistic 3D environments and object interactions using VR frameworks.
• Implement learning modules and guided experiments with embedded AI tutors or voice assistants.
• Integrate gamification elements (progress tracking, achievements, quizzes).
• Optimize for VR headsets (Meta Quest, HTC Vive, etc.) and web-based VR (WebXR).
• Collaborate with instructional designers to ensure scientific accuracy and pedagogical value.
• Deliver a demo-ready VR prototype showcasing key lab experiences.

🧩 Skills Required

• 🥽 VR Development: Unity 3D or Unreal Engine (with VR SDKs)
• 🧠 3D Modeling & Simulation: Blender, Maya, or similar
• 🧪 STEM Knowledge: Understanding of core scientific principles for experiment design
• ⚙️ XR Integration: WebXR, OpenXR, or Meta SDK
• 💡 AI & Voice Integration: Using APIs like OpenAI or ElevenLabs for in-lab guidance
• 🎮 Gamification Design and user engagement systems
• 📚 EdTech Experience: Familiarity with eLearning platforms and instructional design
• 💻 Programming: C#, C++, or JavaScript (for WebXR integration)

💼 Deliverables

• ✅ A functional VR Science Lab prototype (1–2 modules)
• 🎨 3D environment assets and interactive lab components
• 🧩 Documentation and workflow diagram
• 📘 Short demo video or walkthrough presentation
• 🧠 Recommendations for scaling into a full EdTech platform

💡 Outcome

A cutting-edge VR learning prototype that demonstrates how students can safely and interactively perform experiments in a virtual lab environment — revolutionizing the way science education is delivered globally. 🌐🧬
