Telelab - Science Lab on the Cloud 2020-Current

Telelab approximates real-world observation and laboratory experiences in an online environment with mechanisms including, but not limited to, telepresence, scientific visualization, data synchronization, remote control, mixed reality, and social interactions.

  • PlatformMacOS/Windows/Linux
  • StackReact.js + Node.js + Kubernetes Cluster
  • Like video conferencing software, Telelab allows many students to freely access and participate in ongoing and past experiments from a Web browser and allows any educators to create, operate, and manage their own remote labs. We envision it as an implementation of remote labs 2.0, a distributed model in contrast to the first generation of remote labs that are somewhat centralized. With Telelab, even students can start their own remote labs and share with others—imagine a student in the United States performs an experiment in the lab and shares it with students in Africa!
