<p>Here we
introduce <i>MoleculARweb</i>, a purely
web-based AR platform for chemistry, molecular and structural biology education
that runs out of the box in regular web browsers in ordinary computers,
laptops, tablets and smartphones. Through regular-printed markers recognized
via the device’s webcam, students and teachers can handle molecules in an AR
environment to interactively explore their structure, dynamics and interactions.
The release version of <i>MoleculARweb</i> features
over 20 activities covering topics about molecular shapes, atomic and molecular
orbitals, acid-base equilibria and hydrogen bonding, protein and nucleic acid
structures, X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy, and molecular mechanics;
applicable from high school to early university levels. <i>MoleculARweb</i> is freely available without registration at <a href="https://molecularweb.epfl.ch">https://MoleculARweb.epfl.ch</a>
in 6 languages.
