Why Experiments are ignored in our Science Education ?
- Exam Oriented Evaluation System ?
- Lack of interest ?
- Lack of Equipment ?
For the last reason ExpEYES is an answer. Works on any computer with USB port. Coding in Python or C.

What is expEYES for
Students : An affordable tool for doing experiments, anytime anywhere. Freedom from the lab timings. Teachers : A tool for doing demos, experiments and to develop new experiments. Engineers : An open system that combines basic physics, electronics, micro-controller programming, computer interfacing, GUI programming and scientific computation. Hobbyist : A nice tool to kill more time with less money.

Singing Magnet
The force experinced by a current carrying cunducter placed in a
magnetic field is demonstrated by placing a permanent magnet inside a solenoid and applying an AC signal to it.

Reducing total cost: cheaper computers.
Tested on Raspberry Pi and Aakash2 and many Android Tablets and Phones
SLIDE 24
More than 1500 units are in circulation.
- Included in the syllabus in some Universities.
- Approached CIET NCERT for adding this in
ICT curriculum.
- Trained around 300 physics teachers.
- Conducted around 35 awareness programs
at different places.(Including Malayshia, Taiwan,Cambodia, Japan, France.....) Every year IUAC conducts two “Six days training programs on PHOENIX”
