Multimedia material helps teachers to better convey knowledge, and students to grasp concepts, in unique ways. Virtual, Augmented and Mixed realities (XR, where X=V, A, R) can potentially enhance learning experiences even more, by allowing users to handle and interact with virtual objects in their space. While β€œclassical” XR usually requires expensive, complex-to-setup hardware and software that not even wealthy countries can afford at large, the advent of Web-based XR that runs on consumer devices like smartphones is making such experiences available everywhere, at any time, at no cost, without any specialized hardware or software, democratizing access to the latest pedagogical tools.


Various examples of augmented reality views useful for chemistry and biology education that run in the web browsers of regular devices. The technology and its reach are described in this article together with some examples. Figure by author Luciano Abriata.
