3D augmented reality (AR) book

In our book we explain the chemical phenomena we encounter every day using 3-dimensional holograms.

Chemistry is all around us. It's in our cells, in our food, in our utensils, in our bathrooms. How do soap and catalyst work? Why do onions sting? Which is the strongest bond? So many fascinating questions from the world of chemistry, collected into 40 topics, mixed with high-tech multimedia.

Who is our chemistry book for?

In our book "Everyday Chemistry" we have collected a lot of information that affects the curriculum of several grades, so the book can help you study year after year. The easy (but professional) language and the spectacular videos make it possible to arouse the interest of even elementary school children in chemistry. In addition, adults also enjoy revitalizing their knowledge through fascinating multimedia content.

What makes this book special?

While the descriptions and diagrams simply explain the theory, the augmented reality videos show the virtual practice. This is a great option for anyone who does not have a well-equipped chemistry lab to experiment in. All you need to use it is a printed book and our AR Books LibrARy app that can be installed on your mobile device. Launch the app and immerse yourself in the mysteries of everyday chemistry!
