New Workbench 2.4 · four learning phases

Learn Signals
Through Augmented
Reality

Signal Verse AR turns an abstract syllabus into something you can walk around. Scan a printed marker with your iPhone and a live signal workbench rises off the desk — change the frequency, push the amplitude, watch the waveform answer back.

Why it exists

Signals are invisible.
That is the whole problem.

A student can recite that wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency and still have never seen it happen. Textbook diagrams are frozen. Lab oscilloscopes are shared, queued for, and gone by the time the idea lands.

Signal Verse AR puts a working instrument in every pocket. The wave is right there on the desk, it responds while you are still holding the slider, and the next question is asked the moment the intuition forms.

Capabilities

Everything a signals lab needs,
anchored to your desk

Nine building blocks that carry a student from their first scan to a verifiable certificate.

AR marker scanning

Point the rear camera at any printed marker. Pose estimation and plane detection lock in under a second, and the workbench anchors to the surface — not to the screen.

18 markers On-device vision

Virtual workbench

Floating glass panels around a live plot: readouts, controls and waveform selectors, all positioned in the space above the marker so nothing hides the instrument.

Unity + URP Depth-sorted UI

Signal frequency

Drag from 0.5 Hz to 8 Hz and watch period and wavelength update in the same frame.

Amplitude & gain

Push past the ceiling and the crests flatten. Clipping stops being a definition and starts being a thing you caused.

Clipping meter

Wave analysis

Composite, modulated, square and noisy signals — toggle harmonics on and off to see what each one contributes.

MCQ learning

Five to six questions per phase, each with a written explanation that appears the moment you answer.

21 questions total

Progress tracking

Daily minutes, streaks, per-phase best scores and a completion ring that fills as you clear each stage.

Achievements

Nine badges tied to real behaviour — first scan, a perfect quiz, five matched target waves.

9 badges

Verifiable certificates

Clear all four phases and a certificate is issued with a unique ID anyone can check.

Shareable

The journey

From download to certificate
in seven steps

Every step is designed to take under two minutes so nothing stands between a student and the idea.

Step 01

Download

Install Signal Verse AR from the App Store. 62 MB, iOS 18 and later, no account needed to look around.

Step 02

Sign in

Use your college email or Apple ID. Progress syncs across every device you study on.

Step 03

Scan the QR marker

Print the marker sheet or open it on a second screen. The scanner locks on and confirms which phase it belongs to.

Step 04

The AR lab appears

Plane detection anchors the workbench to the surface. Walk around it — the instrument stays put.

Step 05

Learn by moving things

Sliders, waveform types and a guided experiment that asks you to match a target before you may continue.

Step 06

Complete four phases

Each phase ends in a quiz. Score 60% or more to unlock the next one; your best attempt is the one that counts.

Step 07

Earn your certificate

A certificate with a unique verification ID, ready to download, share or attach to a portfolio.

AR experience

Marker detection, plane lock,
then a workbench that stays put

The pipeline runs entirely on the device. A fiducial marker gives the camera a known reference; pose estimation places the origin; plane detection finds the desk. From there the workbench is world-anchored, so you can lean in, step back and circle it.

Curriculum

Four phases, in order

Each one introduces a concept, proves it in AR, then tests it. Nothing unlocks early.

01

Introduction to signals

Frequency, period and wavelength. Project a reference wave and watch crests compress as you climb the slider.

12 min·5 questions
02

Amplitude & wave behaviour

Energy, gain staging and clipping. Push the meter into the red and the waveform tells you exactly what happened.

15 min·5 questions
03

Signal recognition

Face-shape mapping in AR. 68 landmarks unroll into a single feature trace — the same idea behind real recognition systems.

18 min·5 questions
04

Advanced analysis

Harmonics, Nyquist and noise. Everything returns at once, then the final assessment closes the course.

22 min·6 questions

My second-years have always been able to do the arithmetic. What they could not do was picture it. Ten minutes with the workbench and half the class was arguing about clipping without being asked to.
