| Abstract: | Augmented Chemistry (AC) is an application that utilizes a tangible user interface (TUI) for organic chemistry education. Based on the outcome of an extensive evaluation, we are in the process of extending the AC system. Firstly, for enhanced interaction, keyboard-free system configuration, and internal/external database (DB) access, a graphic user interface (GUI) has been incorporated into the TUI. Three-dimensional (3D) rendering has also been improved using shadows and related effects, thereby enhancing depth perception. Secondly, AC has been ported to different operating systems and is now compatible with Linux-, Windows-, and Mac OS X based platforms. This enables the use of a wider range of hardware: USB and Firewire (IEEE1394) cameras are now supported. Finally, system capacity to import and visualize molecules from an extensive XML-based DB has been realized. This gives users the ability to download and interact with any molecule up to a certain complexity. |
