Letting a model do the 3D modelling
Building lab glassware by hand in a modelling tool would have taken longer than the simulation itself. The meshes were generated with Meshy AI instead, leaving the time for what actually sells the scene: lighting, shading and the particle effects for each reaction. The latest build runs six practicals, from an acid-base titration to flame tests, with an experiment guide that tracks 30 objectives.
The latest build, with the experiment guide. Bench 1 for titration, Bench 2 for reactions and pH. Today’s six practicals and the safety rules. A titration reaching its pink end point. Test tubes racked at Bench 2. Students at the titration bench. The heating and flame-test bench.

Rebuilding the plant monitor as an interactive simulation
The plant monitor rebuilt in Unity as a greenhouse anyone can try. Six capacitive sensors watch the chilli seedlings; when the average moisture drops below 35% the pump runs until it reaches 65%, and every reading and pump event is written to a Firebase Realtime Database. Buttons for dry soil, rain and day or night, a time-lapse of up to 3,600 times, and walk, orbit and tour cameras show the system working without the hardware.
