• Dynamicland’s “communal science lab” vision proposes a tangible AR bench where physical objects, paper cards, and projected graphics become an interactive programming environment for biology and chemistry experiments.  
• A 2024 PDF (https://dynamicland.org/2024/The_communal_science_lab.pdf) shows researchers manipulating DNA sequences and lab protocols by moving annotated cards on a table while the system projects real-time data, graphs, and simulation results around them.  
• A companion 2022 case study (https://dynamicland.org/2022/Biomolecular_design_in_Realtalk/) demonstrates designing CRISPR guides and plasmid maps entirely through paper-based interfaces, with an illustrated, clickable video transcript that links every spoken step to the corresponding visual state.  
• Participants criticize the current prototype for relying on a “laser-pointer hack” to detect finger contact; they argue that adding stereo cameras for depth sensing would provide more reliable touch detection on the table surface.  
• The underlying “Realtalk” operating system remains opaque—no public code repository exists—leading to skepticism that the system merely hides complexity behind a glossy “it’s so easy” façade rather than truly simplifying scientific workflows.
