Check marks, repositioning a lab, grabbing objects, languages, and more.
You’ll find how-to video tutorials in the Resources section covering how to navigate and work with the app. A quick-reference guide for the controls is also available there.
This usually means the manipulation in the protocol wasn’t completed accurately. For example, if a step asks to fill half of a 500 mL beaker and the student adds only 100 mL (or overfills it), the check mark won’t appear. Simply repeat the manipulation accurately and the check mark will appear.
When you enter a lab, a virtual table appears in front of you. Grab the blue sphere just in front of the table to reposition the environment at the height and location that suits you. The sphere disappears after a few seconds; make it reappear at any time by clicking the right controller’s joystick.
The full Proteus Labs syllabus for every lab — including Introduction, Educational Goals, Anticipated Outcomes, assignment summaries by grade range and lab essentials — is in the Labs section.
Yes. Although each lab has a specific protocol tied to its objectives, students can freely use the available tools and substances to explore beyond the protocol.
To grab small objects or place an object precisely, align the small green sphere on the lower third of the middle finger of each hand with the object. When it touches the object, the object highlights green; press the button at the base of the controller to grasp and manipulate it precisely.
If you drop an object it automatically reappears on the table, so you never need to bend down to pick it up.
