Virtual and Augmented Reality in Chemistry Education, Dissemination and Communication

Virtual and augmented reality are unique tools that can deliver complex, expensive, and potentially dangerous content in a safe and consistent manner to all interested parties, from lab students to conference attendees. Already a rapidly growing field, virtual and augmented reality have the potential to become a revolutionary part of the chemistry education, dissemination and communication toolbox, improving accessibility and engagement for learners, giving researchers new ways to disseminate their work, and helping non-scientists responsible for funding and policy understand and engage with complex topics with ease. Virtual and Augmented Reality in Chemistry Education, Dissemination and Communication provides a snapshot of currently available options and explains how educators and researchers can go about designing, finding and applying these tools.
