Atom Visualizer for ARCore

From Sign Backyard Analysis, Atom Visualizer lets you see and discover atomic fashions in Augmented Actuality with Google ARCore.

Please notice : Atom Visualizer requires Google ARCore and a appropriate Android system. ARCore isn’t supported by all units.

Atom Visualizer brings science dwelling and to the classroom – what’s every little thing round us made from?
Atom Visualizer is a worthwhile pedagogical device that helps to start answering this query, and is straightforward sufficient for use even in kindergarten.

Many people perceive the fundamental construction of an atom: a nucleus containing protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons. However how are these electrons organized? How do they transfer? What do they appear like?

Scientists and science lecturers use two frequent fashions to reply these questions and visualize atoms:

The Bohr mannequin presents the atom as a nucleus with orbiting electrons. This helps us perceive the vitality stage of the electrons and the way they’re organized in relation to the nucleus.

The quantum mechanical mannequin presents the atom with an electron cloud. This helps us perceive the doable location of the electrons in relation to the nucleus.

Atom Visualizer makes use of Augmented Actuality to create 3D animated visualizations of each these fashions in the true world – simply through the use of your digicam.

Launching the app begins your digicam…
Faucet the Plus button and select any of the 118 parts within the periodic desk to create a 3D animated atomic mannequin.
Place the atom wherever you need it in actual house and examine it by your display.
Modify the animation velocity with the slider.
Change between 3D animated visualization of atoms with the Bohr mannequin – a nucleus with orbiting electrons, or the quantum mechanical mannequin – full with random animated electron cloud.
Study extra concerning the parts by the Wikipedia hyperlinks.

UNM NSF STEP 2017 @ Sign Backyard, Inc.

Atom Visualizer was designed and in-built simply eight weeks by Jonathan Barndt utilizing Electrolyte Engine™ throughout his Nationwide Science Basis STEP 2017 internship at Sign Backyard, as a part of the NSF STEM Expertise Growth Program. Jonathan was mentored in Sign Backyard by Dylan Hart (lead engineer of Sign Mapper for Google Tango) and Omar Shaikh (lead engineer of Photo voltaic Simulator for Google Tango).
Jonathan research Laptop Science on the College of New Mexico.
