What is HOBIT
HOBIT is an interactive patented platform that simulates and augments experiments in optics.
It combines physical interaction and numerical simulation to enhance the understanding of complex phenomena.
It Can be used for Virtual Michelson, Interferometer, nonlinear optics, spectroscopy, etc

How it works?
Precise sensors
HOBIT is based on electronics sensors that capture the position of all elements and finely measure the position of encoders representing micro-metric screws of real systems.

Electronics only
When an optical element is placed on the table, it communicates with an electronic network that sends the data to a computer to do the simulation.

Real time simulation
A dedicated simulator has been developed to provide fast and accurate modeling of the beam propagation and interaction with the elements.
Edu benefits proven
The simulator has been tested at the Bordeaux University Technology Institute in collaboration with a researcher in pedagogy, Ass. Prof Stephanie Fleck. This published study has shown interest in teaching this system. CHI.pdf
