Dunwoody Immersive partnered with developer Schell Games to create eight Mixed Reality (MR) laboratories for a fully digital, dual-enrollment DC Electricity course aimed at high school students. Designed for Meta Quest 3 and 3S hardware, the software replaces physical laboratory environments with fully digital, student-led simulations that rely on native hand-tracking rather than handheld motion controllers. The curriculum features two primary module types: Build Labs: Guided, step-by-step interactive sessions where students assemble functional circuits from scratch using a virtual MR circuit diagram, text hints, voice-over instruction, and automated evaluation checkpoints. Troubleshooting Labs: Diagnostic exercises requiring students to evaluate malfunctioning pre-built circuits, identify hardware or wiring errors using diagnostic checklists, and execute working repairs. This platform is intended for high school students pursuing vocational electronics education, as well as academic administrators seeking scalable educational tools. It eliminates physical safety hazards, mitigates high component costs, and removes the requirement for in-person proctors or dedicated classroom lab supervisors. The project addresses the national skilled trades shortage projected through 2030 by expanding access to technical training. By combining dynamic hint systems with self-directed problem-solving, the software establishes a reusable structural blueprint for scaling interactive, remote vocational training across STEM disciplines.

- What is the Dunwoody Immersive DC Electricity course?
- It is a fully digital, dual-enrollment course using eight Mixed Reality labs on Meta Quest 3 and 3S devices to replace physical labs for high school students.
- Do students need motion controllers to complete the labs?
- No, the software uses native hand-tracking so students can touch and manipulate virtual circuit components directly without traditional controllers.
- Who developed Immersive Labs: DC Circuits?
- Dunwoody Immersive partnered with game development studio Schell Games to design and build the eight mixed reality experiences.
- How are Immersive Labs: DC Circuits beneficial for schools?
- They remove physical safety hazards, lower high equipment costs, eliminate the need for in-person lab supervisors, and help address the national skilled trades gap.
