For large biological molecules and assemblies we now also have AR views "in your space" without markers, powered by @modelviewer (this feature only works on Android phones so far -the rest of the website works on all browsers). Objects lie on surfaces, you move around them.

We also rewrote the Virtual Modeling Kit: works in smartphones & tablets, all atoms available, sticks/spheres representation, enantiomerization, >100 preset examples.

Please use moleculARweb for your classes and studies; contact us if you experience problems!

And fill in the surveys!!

Preprint explains how to use. Print AR markers from the SI file. It's all free.

Best compatibility in @Google Chrome; works well in @firefox and Safari too.

And teachers please comment here how you used it!!

So far some profs are using it to teach molecular shapes and orbitals to UGs, others to engage high-school students.

I see the VMK especially useful for organic chemistry: conformations, dynamics, isomers, weird molecules, ..
