AR VR Education Lab for School and Collages By STEMROBO

In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, traditional educational methods are being challenged to keep up with the demands of the 21st century. One groundbreaking solution transforming classrooms is the introduction of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) Education Labs. STEMROBO, a leader in educational technology, is at the forefront of this revolution, offering cutting-edge AR/VR labs designed for schools and colleges.

Why AR/VR in Education?

The integration of AR and VR into education is more than just a trend; it represents a significant shift in how students engage with learning material. These technologies allow students to experience immersive, interactive environments that are far more engaging than traditional textbooks or lectures. Here’s why AR/VR labs are a game-changer for education:

Immersive Learning: AR/VR labs create highly interactive environments where students can explore everything from historical landmarks to the human body in ways that were previously impossible. For instance, a VR field trip to Ancient Rome or a 3D anatomy lesson makes learning both fun and memorable(

Visualizing Complex Concepts: Subjects like physics, biology, and engineering often involve abstract or difficult-to-understand concepts. VR simulations allow students to visualize these in 3D, offering a deeper comprehension of how things work in real life. This experiential learning style ensures better retention of knowledge(

Real-World Simulations: Virtual Reality allows students to simulate real-world situations in a risk-free environment. This is particularly useful in fields like healthcare, where students can practice medical procedures, or in engineering, where they can conduct complex experiments without the risks associated with physical setups(

Inclusive Learning: One of the most exciting benefits of AR/VR is its potential to accommodate students with diverse learning needs. By providing multiple ways to interact with educational content, these tools can cater to students who might struggle with traditional teaching methods(

STEMROBO’s AR/VR Labs: A Comprehensive Solution

STEMROBO is leading the way in providing AR/VR labs to educational institutions across India. Their solutions are designed to align with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which emphasizes equipping students with 21st-century skills like problem-solving, critical thinking, and technological proficiency.

Key features of the AR/VR labs include:

Engagement and Experiential Learning: AR/VR tools capture students’ attention and enable them to interact with lessons in a hands-on way. This is especially beneficial for subjects like biology, history, and engineering.

Skill Development: VR simulations allow students to practice real-world scenarios, from scientific experiments to global virtual field trips, fostering digital literacy.

Teacher Support: STEMROBO provides comprehensive training for educators, curriculum integration, and ready-to-use lesson plans to effectively use AR/VR in classrooms

This lab setup can enrich education by offering practical learning opportunities, enhancing students’ understanding of complex subjects, and preparing them for future technological advancements(

I saw your post asking about prompts, so here we are! First off, I just want to say I love your writing.

Do you think you’d write something with V/iktor inducing a stuck sneeze for J/ayce with something from the lab? Maybe J/ayce is sick and stuck with false starts, or he’s just had an itch all day

Fair warning anon, I'm not particularly good at writing inducing or stuck sneezes so I apologize in advance if this falls short ^^;;; (also Im happy you like my writing 🥰)

Viktor had his turn, now time to torture Jayby boy.

~~~~

"Hold on..." Jayce held up a finger, face tilting upward as he blinked repeatedly.

Next to him, Viktor rolled his eyes, "Not again." He grumbled, shoulders clenched in irritation.

The next few seconds were either silent, as quiet as a busy lab could be, or filled with Jayce's sharp hitching.

Mouth agape, he stared up before shaking his head again and running his gloved hand across his nose.

"Damnit." He swore under his breath. Viktor said nothing, only giving his own head shake. The two began again but as Viktor added more of the solution to the flask, Jayce's breath once again hitched hard as he anticipated the sneeze that never seemed to come.

"By Janna, will you stop that!" Viktor finally said, pulling the googles off, after Jayce had spent well over thirty seconds just staring unfocused forward. "If the solution is bothering you that badly, let me finish it so this will be done before we both die." Viktor snapped at his partner.

Rubbing his nose, Jayce sniffled hard, "Sorry V, this usually doesn't happen to me." More sniffling, Jayce scrunched his nose in an effort to calm it.

Eyes rolling into his own head, Viktor stood, still hunched over the desk, looking around.

Confused, Jayce walked closer, still running his thumb along his nose. "What are you..."

Before he could finish, Viktor turned to him, holding in his hand a tuning fork. They'd used it recently when trying to calculate how much resonance would come off the crystals once stabilized.

"Hold...still..." Viktor said gold eyes glinted with what Jayce took as excitement. Clanking it against the table, the fork song rung out.

"Vik...I don't understand..." Jayce began but stopped. The fork vibrations mere inches from his irritated nose gave it the push it needed.

Backing away, Jayce barely had time to cover as sneezes, no longer stuck, exploded from him. Both gloved hands now steepled over his nose and mouth, he sneezed repeatedly. Viktor never admitted this but he stopped counting when Jayce hit double digits.

"What the hell?" Jayce finally got out after the fit stopped.

"We're scientists, Jayce. You were having a problem, I found a solution." Viktor replied nonchalantly as he put the googles back on.

"Well next time...warn...me..." Jayce pinched that one away.

Smiling to himself, Viktor had no intention to do that. Ever.

AreOri and nostalgia

I read a hot take the other day on Twitter that said something along the lines of "AreOri isn't worse than all the other series, y'all all just blinded by nostalgia", and after a lot of pondering, I have to agree. I have not seen the later part of Ares, nor Orion but I think the way they utilised nostalgia was what made it kinda flop. Objectively speaking Ares does a decent job at being a soccer anime, but by so heavily bringing in elements that aim to make fans nostalgic and then fails to handle this nostalgia well is what makes the series lag behind all the others in the franchise.

Ares wanted to do too much all at once by making it into an alternate universe with the og cast included. While at first I was very excited about the reappearance of some of my faves, they did a poor job at handling characterisations. The og characters became bland and uninteresting because obviously the plot had to favour the development of the new main characters. This also ruined many Ares characters since it immediately invited the viewers to compare and contrast Asuto's gang with the og guys; and not only Asuto's team had more personality (which made fans who were hoping to see the og characters disappointed) but they seemed to have eerily similar traits to guys in the og series. Asuto, the sunshine boy, Haizaki with his anger issues and sick-loved-one-in-the-hospital problems, Nosaka the genius, emotionless tactician etc. In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with using a formula that seemed to work in previous installments, but the development of Ares characters 1) came at the detriment of the og character's development who just seemed to be background actors standing around without any real advancement of their own character or of the general plot and 2) was impossible not to compare and contrast the two groups of characters and find way too many similarities which makes the viewer (i am myself included xd) unable to appreciate the Ares characters as their own.

While this was going on, Ares also tried to use some tropes and themes that were already familiar to the audience. Yet again, a great move if executed correctly. My biggest issue with the execution here is that these tropes never fully made use of the full potential of Ares being in an alternate universe. We learn of Akane pretty early on in the series, Akane and Haizaki basically being the equivalent of Gouenji and Yuuka (or Gouenji and Yuuka with a different sort of relationship). Making a slight change in the trope of having a loved one in the hospital (like Haizaki and Akane being childhood friends) should have been enough, had Ares been a series on its own. The audience would have acknowledged that "haha this is a nod to the og series, how clever". But when Gouenji is right there, having gone through the same thing (especially if we considered how similar Akane is to Yuuka and Haizaki to Gouenji) the opportunity for these to bond (or hate, or whatnot, just to interact in any way) over this fact offers itself on a silver a platter, yet the series does not do anything with it, depriving both Haizaki and Gouenji from a potential character development.

The anime decided to create an alternative universe yet it was hesitant to harness the full potential of its alternative universe-ness. They could have used og characters to help them build the main character's personalities through interaction which they seemed to be doing, but at the same time, the og characters only seemed to be hollowed out shells of themselves, only there for a three minute appearance to draw in fans who started watching only to see this one character.

I think that's why I like Victory Road's premise so much. It seems to handle nostalgia much better than Ares did: the characters seemed to be very distinctly unique so far, no og characters to compare them to and a change in the protagonist's general attitude will also serve the game well, in my opinion. It alludes to previous series just enough for it to make fans want to pick it up while also introducing new, unique characters and a plot that replicates but also goes against the established story arc of Inazuma series. (I am aware that the fact that all the charas of previous series will be playable is also a big drawing force and that is the main reason that ppl are excited about this game haha).

So, in my opinion, the main reason people find AreOri the worst series in the franchise is because it establishes that it is going to rely on nostalgia and then does an abysmal job at making use of this nostalgia of the audience. It relies solely on the fans' dedication to their og characters - putting in og characters in the series as dummies with no real purpose, just so fans can say that their fave is in it - and completely forgets about the potential that fans can grow fond of new characters, can appreciate a storyline that is different from what they are used to.

I have to make it clear that I don't hate Ares, I just think that it was not well executed, due to in part in the way it relies on nostalgia, but I myself had enjoyed some parts of it when I was watching. And at the end of the day, it is a soccer anime which is mainly concerned with fancy hissatsus and high-stake matches and not the intricate details of their characters' personalities. I am also grateful for Ares because it was successful in making me nostalgic and indeed pulled me back to the franchise. Despite all the issues I think it has, a lot of characters turned out decent and I was very invested in the story when it first came out. What I also love about Ares is how it revived the fandom here on tumblr: the sakka fridays of watching the new ep without understanding anything, the long analysis posts, the fanarts and fanfics, I will always be thankful for its community-building.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk. xd

okay how the fuck do i get one of those brilliant labs monocle devkits.

Poison World, Chapter 18 - When Kori reaches the generator that powers the city's infrastructure, it begins to drain her of her energy, so her brother Soru takes her place. The machine reawakens his old Curian form to drain it too, but if it means Kori can shut down Ares, Soru is willing to accept whatever happens to him from here.

ok i dont like advent children at all as a concept or film but. mr uematsu kind of went off with the soundtrack. he said “im going to blend character themes with those of the people they are closest to and add the sickest waltz bass beats and the most sickening guitar solo you’ve ever seen into an already impeccable song” and that goes so much harder than “um sephiroth is back somehow. figure it out”

[mortylabs]

Hey Leviathan. Me again.

Thanks for helping out with the Morty situation I had.

Odd question. Do you do limb replacements?

Hey Ars!

No problem. And yeah, I do. All sorts of them. Is it for you?

[averagedettlaffenjoyer]

jamie campbell bower would be my perfect casting choice for caranthir. i have had that idea for quite some time now, but now that i am rewatching stranger things i literally can’t think of anyone more perfect. there are even some parallels between compass boy and 001 if you think about it really damn hard

[kakushusband]

Oh god since I'm thinking about dbz esp viola again I should make a comparison between him and buu (super buu preferably) and how different they are from one another. Literally 'average guy' vs 'mass destruction magic homunculus'

[apphiarothowrites]

Bnha x Op

Normally, due to the dynamics of Op, reincarnations come in groups. But I had an idea for a solo

I read a fic about SI Kurogiri a few "millennia" ago (possibly he/she was Oboro too)

Instead of an SI, it's someone from Op, who looks at the lab/all for one and says "fuck this" and leaves there with Tomura (and maybe other kids who were under his control too)

literally any protag from OP winding up in Kurogiri would Nope out so fast

just a big ol' pile of nopenopenopenope

📝 Editorial: Meta AI’s Big Announcements

Meta held its big conference, *Connect 2024*, last week, and AI was front and center. The two biggest headlines from the conference were the launch of the fully holographic Orion AI glasses, which represent one of the most important products in Meta’s ambitious and highly controversial AR strategy. In addition to the impressive first-generation Orion glasses, Meta announced that the company is developing a new brain-computer interface for the next version.

The other major release at the conference was Llama 3.2, which includes smaller language models of sizes 1B and 3B, as well as larger 11B and 90B vision models. This is Meta’s first major attempt to open source image models, signaling its strong commitment to open-source generative AI. Additionally, Meta AI announced the Llama Stack, which provides standard APIs in areas such as inference, memory, evaluation, post-training, and several other aspects required in Llama applications. With this release, Meta is transitioning Llama from isolated models to a complete stack for building generative AI apps.

There were plenty of other AI announcements at *Connect 2024*:

Meta introduced voice capabilities to its Meta AI chatbot, allowing users to have realistic conversations with the chatbot. This feature puts Meta AI on par with its competitors, like OpenAI and Google, which have already introduced voice modes to their products.

Meta announced an AI-powered, real-time language translation feature for its Ray-Ban smart glasses. This feature will allow users to translate text from Spanish, French, and Italian by the end of the year.

Meta is developing an AI feature for Instagram and Facebook Reels that will automatically dub and lip-sync videos into different languages. This feature is currently in testing in the US and Latin America.

Meta is adding AI image generation features to Facebook and Instagram. The new feature will be similar to existing AI image generators, such as Apple’s Image Playground, and will allow users to share AI-generated images with friends or create posts.

It was an impressive week for Meta AI, to say the least.
