Who makes Raista and why?
Raista started as a personal project by an undergraduate physics student in Turkey and is currently developed by a single person. It is not a company or an institution. Its purpose is simple: to be able to set up and try experiments from university physics lab courses in the browser before attending class, and to understand what is being measured.
Where is it now?
Laboratories. Some of the mechanics and waves & oscillations experiments were prepared according to the setups in university physics laboratory manuals. Some simulations are still at the demonstration level; their educational aspects (pre-lab questions, measurements, comparison with theory) are continuing to be developed.
Accuracy. Simulations have not yet been officially reviewed by a faculty member. If you spot a mistake, letting us know is very valuable; it will be fixed.
Artificial Intelligence. Some of the code, visuals, and texts are prepared with the help of artificial intelligence tools. Details are on the AI Usage page.
Languages. The main language is Turkish. Other languages are machine-translated and may contain errors.
Principles
Learning by doing
Instead of memorizing concepts, changing parameters in interactive laboratories and seeing the results with your own eyes.
Free and accessible
Laboratories open in the browser without requiring installation or membership; the majority of the content is free.
Being open to errors
If you see an error in a simulation, article, or solution, let us know. Criticism is the fastest way for the site to improve.
