Elements 4D - chemistry and augmented reality

For most people (and especially children) chemistry is complex, obscure and tedious science. All these designations, formulas and reactions of substances supplied dull text and stingy schematic images, even in many hobbies educator diligently catching sleep.

Project Elements 4D companies DAQRISuccessfully received funding for a Kickstarter, it demonstrates that the problem is not in the subject, and in its submission, using augmented reality making the study of the chemical elements and their interactions in a bright and exciting game.

Elements 4D - a collection of 6 decorated with carved wooden blocks, designed for use with a special augmented reality application for the iPhone and iPad daqri.

On each face of cubes engraved beautifully decorated designation of one of the elements of the periodic table.

If you run the app and point the camera of the smartphone or tablet on a cube, it will be transformed with the help of augmented reality technology, to visualize the designated his closest to the element device faces: magically becomes wooden cube of glass with metal edges, and inside it there is a sample considered substances.

With augmented reality you can not only look at the stuff and get information about the representation of the elements, but also by moving the two dice together, run them a chemical reaction. In this case both dice change its own designation on the formula of the resulting substance. Combining cubes with oxygen and hydrogen to give 2 cubic water waving liquid inside. But it is necessary to push them, and they return to their original "state." All these transformations, of course, take place only when viewed through the camera into cubes and the iPhone or the iPad screen.

Elements 4D is positioned as informative toy for children, a visual aid for teachers of advanced chemistry, as well as fun with augmented reality for fans of science and geek.

On the project has an experienced team that has created a range of products using augmented reality. Among its clients and customers such serious and large companies such as Sony, Cadillac, 21th Century Fox, LEGO.

The creators used the Elements 4D campaign on KickstarterIn the first place, not to raise money but to attract attention to the project. And successfully obtaining funding was not only additional information occasion, but also confirmed the existence of demand for this kind of teaching aids and toys.
