From a homework photo to 7 interactive 3D physics labs in 45 minutes for ~€10
rschu · x · 2026-09-08
A demo of building interactive learning experiences from a single photo: upload a picture of physics homework, ask the AI to build a website, and get 7 interactive experiments with 3D visualization, live graphs and explanations in about 45 minutes for roughly €10 in API token costs — change a car's mass and acceleration, explore a football kick, look inside a piston, or see how bending your knees changes landing forces.
The author recalls building similar Flash-based physics modules for teachers 20+ years ago, when content creation effort was the main blocker. He argues AI can turn teachers' exercises into explorable experiments, that the schools-and-AI conversation should include these positive uses, and that AI works best as a visual, interactive tutor — though simulations still need checking and students still must understand the material.
