| Fact | myPhysicsLab | Telewavesim |
|---|---|---|
| Audience | The simulations include explanations of their underlying mathematics and the site describes the project as an online science museum effort. | The project describes the software as useful for teleseismic receiver-based studies. |
| Delivery mode | hybrid | desktop |
| Free plan | Yes | Yes |
| Purpose | myPhysicsLab provides interactive, real-time animated physics simulations that users can change by dragging objects and adjusting parameters. | Telewavesim models teleseismic body-wave propagation through stacks of generally anisotropic, strictly horizontal layers. |
| Support | The author identifies himself as Erik Neumann and provides an email address on the home page; no support plan is listed there. | The documentation directs users to submit an issue on GitHub if they encounter installation problems. |
