Nucleophile’s Point of View (NuPOV)

Visualize molecular chemical sciences concepts in an AR setting & interact with them by hand.

The Project

Visualization of three-dimensional (3D) elements has always played a huge role in chemistry education. At the same time, it is a challenge to teach with most representations being shown in two-dimensional (2D) media. Our AR project has developed the mobile application “Nucleophile’s Point of View” (Nu POV) that aims to address limitations in 2D/3D molecular translations. By allowing you to not only view chemistry concepts in an AR setting but also interact with them by hand, you are able to learn and understand at a deeper level through an individualized and self-directed learning experience.
