Atomizer AR turns your iPhone or iPad into a portable quantum chemistry lab. Visualize atomic and molecular orbitals in 3D, render electron density clouds, and step into immersive WebXR augmented reality where molecules sit on your desk at real-world scale. — WHAT YOU CAN DO — • Explore atomic orbitals computed from real hydrogenic wavefunctions: 1s, 2p, 3d, 4f and beyond, with adjustable shell glow and Bohmian trajectory animation. • View any molecule's molecular orbitals (HOMO, LUMO, intermediates) computed via PySCF on the cloud, then rendered as interactive isosurfaces. • See ball-and-stick models in WebXR augmented reality. Tap "View in AR", point at a flat surface, place the molecule on a table, then pinch to scale and drag to rotate. • Pair your phone with the desktop using Atomizer Remote: enter a 4-letter code, then tilt your phone to control the on-screen molecule with your gyroscope. Live preview streams back to your phone in real time. • Browse 40+ molecules — water, glucose, caffeine, benzene, ammonia, ethanol, methane, sulfuric acid and more — with energy diagrams, dipole arrows, lone pairs (VSEPR) and MO correlation diagrams. • Calculate molar mass live from any chemical formula, including parenthesised groups like Ca(OH)₂ and (NH₄)₂SO₄, with per-element breakdown. • Balance equations, run stoichiometry, sketch molecules in 2D, and explore reaction pathways. — SUBSCRIPTIONS — Free: 5 molecule renders per period. All calculator tools and full periodic table. Californium Pass — $2.99/month. 50 renders monthly, priority compute queue. Einsteinium Pass — $6.99/month. Unlimited renders, GLTF export for AR/3D printing, protein visualization, priority support. Auto-renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Cancel anytime in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions. Subscriptions sync across iPhone, iPad, and electronvisual.org.

Selvaris

Watch evolution unfold in real time – on an entire planet. Selvaris is an evolution simulator: plants, herbivores and carnivores live, eat, hunt and reproduce on a globe you can spin freely. Every creature passes its traits on to its offspring – with small mutations. Those that are faster, more efficient or more skilful live longer and have more offspring. Natural selection, live before your eyes. CREATURES THAT LEARN Every animal is controlled by a small neural network: it senses food, predators and its own energy reserves and decides for itself where to go. Over the generations, each species improves its shared memory – successful strategies prevail. WHAT YOU CAN OBSERVE • More than 20 heritable traits – from speed and sight range to armor and bite power, all the way to plant toxicity and root depth • Live charts of population size and average age • The average genes of every species at a glance • Slow motion to fast-forward (0.1× to 5×) and rewind • Zoom in all the way to individual animals GAME MODES • Classic – guardrails keep the ecosystem stable, the simulation runs forever • Survival – no intervention: will your ecosystem hold out, or will a species go extinct? With leaderboard SELVARIS PRO (one-time purchase) • Design Mode – intervene: trigger plagues, release creatures, unleash predators • Design Mode+ – interventions in survival mode, with its own leaderboard • Design Genes – set the genes of your starting populations yourself • All future Pro features included One-time · no subscription ALSO • Save populations, continue them later and share them as a file • Built-in manual • In English, German, Spanish, Portuguese and Japanese • Fully offline – no ads, no tracking, no account needed
