HOBIT: Hybrid Optical Bench for Innovative Teaching

Applications

Hobit is an optical bench based on augmented reality :

• Teaching for student in optic / photonic/ laser,
• Training for teachers and professionals,
• Teaching in enterprise,
• Laboratory experimentation.

Description

• HOBIT can be used for teaching Virtual Michelson Interferometer, nonlinear optics and spectroscopy,
• This virtual-reality environment which replaces an optical bench mostly for students,
• HOBIT helps student understand optics’ phenomena,
• It replaces real experiments in optics by simulated experiments based on augmented reality,
• It allows to have a visual feedback on the experiment, and is easy to set-up and reboot.
