AR Periodic Table of Elements

The AR Periodic Table of Elements app, presented by Tokyo Electron, offers an engaging augmented reality experience for learning about the elements. Released alongside the 2017 edition of Tokyo Electron's Periodic Table, the app supports both Japanese and English versions, including the newly named element nihonium (Nh). Users can scan element cards from the table or posters using their ARCore-supported Android devices to activate educational videos narrated by Dr. Elements and others. Designed to deepen understanding through interactive content, this app includes features such as camera recognition and audio narration, making chemistry learning accessible and fun.

Users should ensure their element cards are flat and unobstructed for optimal recognition and maintain a strong internet connection. Although primarily for smartphones running Android 7.0+, tablet support is also included. This innovative educational tool was developed under the supervision of the National Museum of Nature and Science, Japan, with collaboration between Tokyo Electron and The Asahi Shimbun Company.
