Abstract

The purpose of this poster is to demonstrate how Augmented Reality (AR) helps students learn biochemistry. The AR interface allows users to explore 3D graphical objects attached to real objects as if they were combined as one. The Human Interface Technology Laboratory and the SCRIPPS Research Institute developed two AR applications, the "Protein Magic Book" and "Amino Acids Tangible Models." In order to examine how AR may help students learn, several experiments have been completed to understand how students learned with these interfaces regarding protein structures and amino acids. The results showed that AR was able to facilitate biochemistry learning and students enjoyed the process of interacting with AR.
