Laboratorios virtuales aplicados a la Física universitaria: situación actual y perspectivas futuras - [Virtual laboratories applied to university Physics: current situation and future scenarios]

- This work deals with the current state of the art of tools applicable to the laboratory practices in the university subjects of Physics. The situation caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus has triggered the number of companies that develop virtual laboratories and the development of multiple tools, free or not, applicable to online practices. A description of the main tools available in included. In addition, the results of the same practice carried out online and on-site on Stokes's law are compared. It has been observed that both modes presented similar academic results, with a shorter duration and a lower associated cost for online practice. Finally, a reflection on the future application of 3D virtual practices and their joint use with on-site practices is included.
