A-CUBE: A Tangible Tabletop Application to Support Safe and Independent Chemistry Experiments

Abstract

We propose a tangible learning system that facilitates chemistry experiments in a safe and independent manner. The system displays ambiguous messages that alert a student to avoid a possible accident based on the experimental context. In this paper, we introduce a prototype tabletop application named A 3 (A-CUBE) and report on brief description of an evaluation that aimed to measure its usability and to test the feasibility.
