Abstract
“MoleculAR Geometry” is an augmented reality (AR) application developed
for the Magic Leap augmented reality headset. The application aims to serve as a
learning aid for teaching 3D molecular configurations in general and organic chemistry
laboratories and classrooms. The finished app includes eight types of molecular
geometries along with examples and information on the number of bonds and lone
electrons. A quiz game within the app assesses student understanding and sends results
to the instructor. “MoleculAR Geometry” has undergone initial user testing at Middle
Tennessee State University and is available on the Magic Leap devices in the James E.
Walker Library.
