Mining Engineering
LabMinas
Virtual mineralogy laboratory for the characterization of specimens through interactive physical tests.
About the project
Interactive geological identification environment where students apply the scientific method to classify minerals based on the analysis of their physical properties, such as hardness, density, and crystalline habit, without the need to destroy real samples.
The Technical Challenge
Simulating realistic physical behaviors such as fracture or scratching reaction (Mohs Scale) in real-time, allowing students to experiment freely in a safe and repeatable environment.
