AR VR Molecules Editor allows one to build and manipulate 3D molecules models of organic and inorganic compounds in a smartphone VR headset. This is a valuable tool for chemistry students for learning about molecular bonding with the aid of VR visualization. The app is designed for high school or college students taking chemistry courses. All molecules are essentially 3D objects and one very efficient way to learn more and deeper about atoms and bonds is by VR and AR. Augmented reality helps to make connections from the abstract to the real world. Are you looking for an app that allows students to construct molecules in VR and AR? AR VR Molecules Editor is a very effective app for this purpose as it allows organic and inorganic molecular structures to be built with single, double and triple bonds, as well as cyclic compounds. The molecules can be visualized in 3D using stick, ball and stick and space-filling (CPK) models. FEATURES: • Building molecule models of any organic or inorganic compound using most of periodic table elements in VR. • Support of single, double and triple bonds. • Building molecule models of cyclic compounds. • Visualization of Wireframe style, Stick style, Ball and Stick, Spacefill (CPK) models. • Augmented reality interface (AR) for visualizing molecular structures. Play "AR VR Molecules Editor" – it’s fun, entertaining and educational!

Model ChemLab Lite for iPad - an interactive Chemistry lab simulation for the iPad.  Model ChemLab is a unique product that incorporates both an interactive simulation and a lab notebook. Each lab includes a detailed Introduction with theory, lab procedure and an area for recording observations. Commonly used lab equipment and procedures are used to simulate the steps involved in performing an experiment. Users step-through the actual lab procedure while interacting with animated equipment in a way that is similar to the real lab experience. The Lite version for iPad is based on the standard (student) version for MacOS but only includes 5 lab experiments, instead of the 40+ lab experiments included with the full versions. Model ChemLab Lite includes the following labs simulations: Acid/base, fractional crystallization, gravimetric analysis, specific heat and the generic lab experiment. Model ChemLab is ideal for distance learning, hybrid labs, demonstrations, lab run-throughs, pre-lab work, dangerous and environmentally hazardous, expensive, or lengthy labs. ChemLab includes a large selection of lab equipment, including: beakers, calorimeter, centigram & electronic balances, electrochemical cell, Erlenmeyer flasks, test tubes, gas syringes with pressure gauges, graduated cylinders, burets, pipets, watch glasses, filtering flask with buchner funnel, bunsen burner, hot plate / Magnetic stirrer, stirring rods, distillation equipment setup, calorimeter, conductivity meter, geiger counter, potentiometer, spectrophotometer and more…
