Abstract
Education in chemistry often requires students to interpret and manipulate data across three dimensions. In electrochemistry, 3D information can take the form of surface profiles, potential axes, Reinmuth plots, and more. While some students are adept at visualizing and interacting with complex 3D data, others struggle to do so. This creates a barrier and can prove a disadvantage in advanced chemistry courses. To better aid student understanding, Merge Cubes, an augmented reality tool, are introduced to an analytical chemistry course with a focus on equilibrium and electrochemistry. Students can view 3D objects with the smartphone companion app, where objects are superimposed on the cubes and displayed on the phone. The objects can be rotated, manipulated, and annotated to give a better understanding of 3D data. Objects are provided to students throughout the course, showing equilibria, titrations, potentiometry, and voltammetry in 3D space. The objects are used as introductory tools for content, visual aids for graded assignments, and as discussion activities. Student opinion surveys for each content module provide information on the efficacy of Merge Cubes and what format students found most helpful. Figure 1
