Bionic Eye App

This app simulates the sort of vision that a person might experience using a bionic eye. The bionic eye is a retinal implant, placed at the back of the eye to restore a sense of vision for people with profound vision loss due to degenerative conditions of the retina. An external camera captures the visual scene and sends data to the implant. Electrodes on the implant electrically stimulate the nerve cells in the retina, providing a sense of vision. In this app, each spot of light that appears represents one electrode.

Building Serial Circuits (Lite)

Using 3D graphics and 2D electronic symbols, you will assemble different types of series circuits using wires, switches, batteries, and light bulbs. In order to better understand the difference between a series and a parallel circuit, build a circuit that illuminates two bulbs and observe what happens when one light bulb is removed.

States of Matter

Discover the fundamental nature of matter and understand different kinds of matter.
Based on classical learning, it explains three states of matter and tells you about the property of the state.
You can read, listen and assess your learning on states of matter. Simulation tells you about the motion of atoms within the particular state.
By using this App, A children can easily figure out solid, liquid and gas. Atom’s density clearly shows the difference of these 3 states.
