MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541110772 A) filed by Saveetha Institute Of Medical And Technical Sciences, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Nov. 13, 2025, for 'science lab using virtual reality.'
Inventor(s) include Mohammed Apsal M; Dr Rama A; Maninder Singh; and Dr Ramya Mohan.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Virtual reality (VR) is revolutionizing science education and research by providing immersive, interactive virtual labs. These labs allow students and researchers to conduct experiments, explore scientific concepts, and observe phenomena that are otherwise difficult or impossible sto experience in traditional settings. For example, VR can simulate hazardous chemical reactions, molecular structures, or distant astronomical systems, offering a safe and accessible environment for exploration. One of the primary advantages of VR science labs is improved safety, as users can perform risky experiments without real-world dangers. Additionally, VR reduces costs by eliminating the need for expensive materials or equipment. It also provides greater accessibility, enabling students in remote or resource-limited areas to participate in advanced scientific learning. The immersive nature of VR fosters engagement and enhances understanding by turning abstract concepts into tangible, visual experiences.VR technology has applications across various fields, including biology, chemistry, physics, and environmental science. Users can manipulate molecules, study ecosystems, or observe cellular processes in real-time simulations. However, challenges such as high initial investment, technical skill requirements, and the need for custom VR content remain. Despite these hurdles, VR-enabled science labs represent a transformative tool that bridges theory and practice, inspiring curiosity and innovation in learners and researchers alike."
