Structural Chemistry 2.0: Combining Augmented Reality and 3D Online Models
Jonas R. Schmid, Moritz Ernst, Günther Thiele
Abstract
We present an accessible implementation of augmented reality projections for the depiction of complex structures and motifs, including atomic orbitals and elemental allotropes. The utilization of a free, cross-platform-compatible, online database of these structures provides the access route for closer examination, either via augmented reality or an online interface. Both will facilitate an enhanced understanding of the complex structures and can be applied in taught courses as well as during the self-study of students.
