Abstract
Systems and methods for utilizing laboratory equipment in a hybrid reality environment or augmented virtual reality environment, are contemplated herein and include: at least one piece of laboratory equipment having at least one feature, wherein the at least one piece of laboratory equipment is tracked; a tracking module for tracking a position and an orientation of the at least one piece of tracked laboratory equipment; a virtual model, stored in a memory, comprising at least one 3-D virtual representation of the at least one feature of the at least one piece of laboratory equipment; and an experimentation module. A piece of laboratory equipment for use in a hybrid reality environment or augmented virtual reality environment is also included that comprises at least one piece of laboratory equipment having at least one feature, wherein the at least one piece of laboratory equipment is tracked; at least one marker that is coupled with the at least one piece of laboratory equipment; and a tracking module for tracking a position and an orientation of the at least one piece of tracked laboratory equipment, wherein the tracking module accesses the at least one marker.
