Welcome

VR Physics Lab is a digital space dedicated to exploring physics concepts through interactive virtual reality (VR) experiences. This site currently features the development of Climate Lens VR — an undergraduate research project designed to help students visualize how solar radiation interacts with Earth's atmosphere.

​

While the simulation is still in development, this website offers a behind-the-scenes look at the physics concepts that shape it. You’ll find posts that explain how Earth's energy budget works, how solar radiation is scattered and absorbed, and how these processes are modeled inside the virtual environment.

​

As new features are added to the simulation, this site will continue to grow — with future updates including downloadable access.
