An impressive and very well-polished VR application that allows you to personally “dive” into the microworld of molecules and atoms!

Description

MEL Chemistry is an interactive library of scientific knowledge on chemistry and physics, presented in a unique way. Its high educational value unfolds as the user gradually “unlocks” chapters and navigates even through … matter itself. Witnessing the atomic structure, the molecular bonds, the thermal energy and other phenomena first-hand is truly unforgettable, no matter how good your knowledge of chemistry was before starting.

The Lab

Everything happens in a virtual lab, where the user/student can select a chapter and start an interactive demonstration of the relevant content. The narrated demonstration can contain historical references and carefully designed visualizations of scientific facts.

Into a crystal of graphite!

The app itself is well built, featuring concise and fun presentations, vivid colors as well as a very easy navigation system.

Summary

I believe that the MEL Chemistry application affirms that only VR technology can truly utilize the full potential of a well-designed educational course. It gives the user the ability to literally “dive” into the specific knowledge, thus immediately answering many questions, making science totally familiar and enabling him/her to explore more advanced subjects.
