3D virtual reality for enhanced visualization in organic and bioorganic chemistry education: advantages, disadvantages, challenges and solutions

Abstract

The convergence of 3D virtual reality (VR, a simulated experience that uses pose tracking and near-eye 3D mapping to give the user a sense of immersion in the virtual world), and augmented reality (AR, interactive experience when a real-world environment is enhanced with computergenerated stimuli) in the educational landscape of Organic and Bioorganic Chemistry holds the promise of revolutionizing the learning experience, offering students a robust platform to explore and comprehend molecules and chemical reactions.
