Augmented Reality as Teaching Aid: Making Chemistry Interactive

Augmented Reality (AR) is a combination of real world and digital data. It facilitates and enhances user experience of interaction with physical world by imposing virtual images on real ones. The idea presented in this paper is to show how AR can be used to enhance the learning experience of students in chemistry lab. The Augmented Reality Chemistry application presented here is a teaching aid supplementing the work of teacher in the chemistry lab. It proposes to make chemistry easy and interactive, while warning the students of any harmful efects/reactions by wrong use of chemicals in the laboratory.
