ChemistryLab Simulator is an educational virtual simulator designed to provide a guided and interactive experience for learning and performing chemistry experiments. It allows users to explore a fully equipped virtual laboratory, interact with realistic tools, and follow instructions from a friendly floating robot assistant.

The simulator

Overview

In ChemistryLab Simulator, each level represents a different chemistry experiment, covering key concepts and essential lab techniques. The floating robot assistant offers guidance through visual and vocal instructions, moving around the space and using facial expressions to create an engaging and intuitive learning experience.

The first level, available in the demo, introduces users to fundamental lab equipment and provides a hands-on tutorial on how to navigate the simulator and interact with objects.

Difficulty Modes

The simulator offers different levels of guidance based on the selected difficulty mode:

• Beginner Mode: The robot provides detailed instructions and continuous guidance.
• Expert Mode: Minimal assistance is provided, allowing users to work more independently.
