Faraday's Magnets

Faraday's Magnets

Step into Michael Faraday's 19th-century laboratory to interact with the electromagnetism experiments using Oculus Quest or Rift

This is a paid preview version to fund further development via Oculus App Lab - https://www.oculus.com/experiences/quest/3939484836074053/.  

If you purchased before, you can download an Oculus App Lab key and a Rift key. Thanks a lot for your support!!

[Oculus Quest v0.46 via APK installation]

• Meet Michael Faraday and James Clerk Maxwell at the Royal Institution.
• Grab the book in front of you and get transported into the first lab - magnetism.
• Go to Faraday's Lab to explore Michael Faraday's electromagnetic experiments, including 1) Faraday's Law of Induction, 2) Ampere's Law of Current, and 3) electromagnets.
• Go to Oersted's Lab to explore the 1) electrical VR circuit, 2) invisible magnetism and 3) connection between electricity and magnetism- Hans Oersted's apparatus for the discovery of electromagnetism.

[Oculus Rift v0.61 via Oculus Store Key]

• Meet Michael Faraday and James Clerk Maxwell at the Royal Institution.
• Work with Faraday and Maxwell on 1) magnets and 2) animal electricity from metals and frog legs.
• Go to the Lab Mode to explore Michael Faraday's electromagnetic experiments, including 1) Faraday's Law of Induction, 2) Ampere's Law of Current, and 3) electromagnets.

Transport yourself back in time to 1855 into the lecture hall of Michael Faraday, the experimental physicist who made vital discoveries around the understanding of electromagnetism. Joined by Scottish mathematical physicist James Clerk Maxwell, you will be able to visualize and interact with the magnetic forces in action like never before.

Put on the "Dyson Hat" to see the invisible forces - the math structure superimposed onto the reality. We were inspired by Prof. Freeman Dyson's essays to design this hat for visualizing the two-layer structure of the world - the reality that satisfied math equations and the reality that we can touch.

Pick up two bar magnets and feel the magnetic field. Use a bar magnet to generate current from the helix coils. Do you know why the direction of current changes?

Faraday's Magnets VR app is created with Unreal Engine 4.24. Please let us know what you think :) Please consider supporting our indie development by being a subscriber of ScienceVR (via sciencevr.com).
