VISUAL LAB PRO 🧪⚡

Project Title

Visual Lab Pro: Interactive Educational GUI & STEM Simulation

Project Description

Visual Lab Pro is a modern, modular, single-page application (SPA) designed to bring abstract mathematical and engineering concepts to life. By aggressively pushing the boundaries of Scilab's Java Swing and OpenGL graphics engines, this project delivers a highly polished, interactive, and animated educational experience. It bridges the gap between static textbook formulas and dynamic physical reality by transforming Scilab into a real-time virtual laboratory.

Software Requirement

• Scilab 6.x (Platform and Engine)
• Note: No external tools, modules, or third-party libraries were used. The entire application relies purely on native Scilab Java Swing and OpenGL rendering engines.

About Project and Features

Visual Lab Pro acts as a central hub with four isolated modules: Physics, Circuit, Analytics, and Finance.

• Custom Routing Engine (SPA): Implements a custom virtual router to destroy and reconstruct UI modules dynamically, avoiding the memory overhead of spawning multiple windows.
• Thread-Safe Animations: Uses finite-pulse loops and sleep yielding to run real-time 60FPS procedural animations (e.g., continuous electron flow) without starving Scilab's single-threaded UI event queue.
• Procedural Geometry & Physics: Circuit schematics are mathematically drawn (including a sine-wave mapped resistor), and physics trajectories use algorithmic predictive tracing to draw paths instantly before launch.
• Smart Data-Tips & Feedback: Hijacks default OpenGL polyline events to display real-world units on curve apexes, and dynamically maps real-time power dissipation (P = V * I) to the RGB brightness of the circuit bulb.
• Enterprise UI/UX: Overrides Scilab's default gray Java Swing UI with a fully custom, persistent layered Dark Theme utilizing normalized coordinates for flawless window scaling.

Steps to Implement Your Project

1. Download and install Scilab 6.x.
2. Extract the visual-lab-pro project folder.
3. Open Scilab and set your working directory to the visual-lab-pro root folder.
4. In the Scilab console, execute the main entry file by typing: exec("src/main.sce");
5. The application will launch. Click on any lab module to begin interacting with the simulations.
