What is Ocul-AR?

Ocul-AR is developed to guide researchers and students in becoming independent microscopy users.

Ocul-AR:

• Strengthen users’ microscopy knowledge before starting their imaging session
• Help users to operate independently on the microscopes

The development of Ocul-AR is based on the collaboration between Turku BioImaging, Åbo Akademi, the University of Turku and the Turku University of Applied sciences. The development of this mobile app started as a Capstone-project between Turku BioImaging and Turku Game-Lab (oikea nimi tähän) The University of Applied Science in January 2022. After the cap-stone course the development of Ocul-AR continued as a joint project between, funded by Turku BioImaging and BlueSkies- funding from the Faculty of Medicine, University of Turku.
