Abstract

Teaching concepts that require the manipulation or visualization of objects that are not available to everyone because of their abstract, scientific or spatial nature present some limitations. Augmented reality and mobile devices are tools available today that allow solving these shortcomings and offer the possibility of interacting with virtual objects in a three-dimensional space. In this paper, we present an author tool for teaching Chemistry in Secondary Education, using augmented reality and then we provide the results of the evaluation of usability that we conducted with 12 high school students in order to evaluate the usability and user experience of the developed app. We have found in this study that, surprisingly, it seems that users of iOS mobiles are better to manipulate AR objects in 3D using the Android mobile we used in this experiment.
