## What is MARVLS?

Augmented Reality Models of topics in the first semester of a physics course including vectors, centroids, forces, impulse, momentum, projectiles, circular motion, torque, right-hand rule, and simple harmonic motion. You'll need a Merge Cube ( link included to download from the internet). Click on different button to navigate to different topics. Click on View in AR to view the model. Hold the Merge cube so that your camera can see it well. Move the cube around until you see the model. Click on the buttons to interact with the model. Click the back button to get back to the info screens or to the main screen.
