Why not?
Interactive Screen Experiments –
Photo-realistic ‘point-of-view’ recordings of real experiments.
“Results” :
Derived by algorithm
Banked real measurements

Why not?Remote Access Laboratories –
Complex equipment routinely controlled through digital interfaces, eg mass spectrometers , astronomical telescopes
Lab class equipment using Labview interfaces
Purpose built rigs

Why not?
• MegaLab Experiments - Investigations in which
large numbers of distributed students contribute
data to mass observation exercises
eg to map national traffic noise, pollution levels.
