Learning Chemistry from a book or screen can be tough; how do you imagine a 3D molecule from a 2D picture? Wouldn’t it be great if molecules could leap out of the page and into your living room? Or if reactions moved rather than stood still? Well with ARChem - they can! ARChem is a game that uses augmented reality (AR) to bring chemistry out of the screen.
