ARMET (Augmented Reality METabolic pathways) uses the camera to show, in augmented reality, the molecules of metabolic pathways on printed cards. Point your device at the cards: each one shows the 3D model of its molecule, and you build the pathway by answering questions. • Study Mode: step-by-step questions through glycolysis, the Krebs cycle and steroid hormone synthesis (aldosterone, cortisol, estradiol, estrone and testosterone). Tap the right molecule to move on. • Game Mode: random questions with several answers and a timer; you get a score at the end. • 53 molecules in 3D (ball and stick), from sugar phosphates to cholesterol. • The printed board works as an augmented reality menu; on-screen buttons work too. • No cards or no camera? Choose the molecules from a list with 3D thumbnails. • Classes: teachers create a class and follow their students' answers; students join with the class code. You can also use it without signing up (anonymous mode). • Portuguese, English and Spanish. The board and the cards can be printed from the Documents menu, together with a worksheet for each pathway. Developed at the Educational Technology Laboratory (LTE), Institute of Biology, University of Campinas (Unicamp), Brazil. Concept: Juan Carlos Vega Garzón, Márcio Luiz Magrini, Brian Cohen and Eduardo Galembeck. New version (2026) rewritten in HTML5, with its own reader for the original card markers — the 2014–2016 cards and board still work.
