Virtual Reality fully replaces the visual field — a headset drops a student inside a cell, the ocean floor, or the International Space Station. Augmented Reality overlays digital models onto the real desk in front of them using a tablet or AR glasses. Run together, the lab lets a biology diagram become a walkable heart chamber and a history chapter become a walkable historical street, without ever leaving the classroom.
Content modules are tagged to the exact NCERT/CBSE chapter they support, so a teacher can slot a session into a term plan.
Tablet-based AR is used for quick in-class overlays; the full headset experience is reserved for immersive, longer sessions.
Teachers can pin their own 3D models and annotations onto AR markers instead of only using pre-built content.
Age-appropriate headset sizing, session-length limits and supervised-use protocols built into the rollout.
Every component below ships, is commissioned on-site, and comes with a matching maintenance line item — nothing here is a "coming soon" placeholder.

| Component | Specification | Quantity |
| Standalone VR headsets | School-durable, adjustable straps, sanitisable padding | 15+ per lab |
| AR-ready tablets | Mid-range tablets with AR-capable cameras | 1 per 2 students |
| Content management console | Teacher dashboard to assign modules and track usage | 1 per lab |
| Charging & sanitising cart | Simultaneous charging with UV sanitising trays | 1 per lab |
| AR marker & activity card sets | Printed markers that trigger 3D overlays per subject | 1 set per class |
| Motion-tracking base stations (optional tier) | For room-scale VR experiences | 2 per lab, advanced tier |
| Projector/display mirroring unit | Mirrors a student's headset view for whole-class discussion | 1 per lab |
Modules build on each other year over year so a student's grade-10 session assumes and extends what they built in grade-6, rather than repeating fundamentals.

Complete AR & VR Lab setup solutions designed to revolutionize how students learn.
By blending Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR), we create a futuristic environment where complex STEM concepts become visual, tangible, and easy to understand.
Whether you are a K-12 school, a university, or executing a CSR project, our scalable lab solutions are built to fit your unique institutional needs.
Our labs are fully compliant with NEP 2020 guidelines and meticulously designed to foster essential 21st-century skills.
Immersive VR Headsets: High-resolution standalone VR devices pre-loaded with educational content.
Interactive AR Modules: AR-enabled charts, flashcards, and smartbooks for interactive 3D learning.
Advanced Telescopes: Professional-grade motorized and manual telescopes for stargazing and planetary observation.
Planetarium Software: Interactive space simulation software for deep-sky exploration.
Smart Display Integration: Seamless casting from VR headsets to interactive flat panels (Smart Boards).
Curriculum Mapped Content: Modules directly aligned with K-12 Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Geography.
Enhanced Retention: 3D immersive learning increases knowledge retention by up to 75%.
Complex Concepts Simplified: Abstract scientific concepts become visually digestible.
Limitless Exploration: Students travel to space, dive into the human bloodstream, or witness historical events safely.
NEP 2020 Compliance: Fulfills the mandate for technology-integrated, experiential, and holistic education.
Increased Admissions: A state-of-the-art lab acts as a premium USP for school admissions and branding.
Every institution has unique spatial and budgetary requirements. We offer highly customized lab designs ranging from 500 sq. ft. compact setups to 2000+ sq. ft. premium innovation hubs. We customize the software modules based on your specific board (CBSE/ICSE/State).
Our expert engineers provide complete on-site installation anywhere in India. This includes acoustic treatment advice, electrical routing, hardware setup, software calibration, and network configuration to ensure a seamless, plug-and-play environment.
Hardware is only as good as the educator using it. DUET STEM provides rigorous, hands-on Teacher Training programs on operating VR headsets, navigating the provided equipment, and integrating modules into daily lesson plans.
To ensure zero downtime, we offer comprehensive Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC) covering remote troubleshooting and on-site repairs. All hardware comes with a standard 1-year manufacturer warranty, with options to extend.
Our dedicated helpdesk provides lifetime backend support for software updates, curriculum upgrades, and technical queries, guaranteeing the longevity and durability of our educational products.
We'll walk your campus, map a grade-wise rollout, and send back a proposal with pricing, timeline and a curriculum sample — usually within five working days.
Transforming classrooms into innovation hubs where imagination meets technology and learning becomes an adventure.
