Use of Augmented Reality in the Instruction of Analytical Instrumentation Design

Abstract
Instruction on the design of analytical instrumentation is a critical component of
the analytical chemistry curriculum. To simplify this process and enable students to directly see
how the instruments that are in their own laboratory setting work, the use of augmented reality
technology can be implemented. In this report, the HP Reveal platform was used to create
digital overlays that are triggered when students view an analytical instrument through their
smartphone camera. From here, further information on the components and operation of the
instrument can be presented to students. To demonstrate this technology, various overlays were
created for four analytical instruments commonly taught in second-year undergraduate
analytical chemistry courses: flame atomic absorption spectrometer, gas chromatograph−mass
spectrometer, liquid chromatograph, and double-beam UV−vis spectrophotometer.
