App Profile: Crystalz AR

Atoms connect in many different ways, a concept that can be difficult to understand without being able to really see what’s going on! Learning and understanding the patterns of crystal structures is precisely one of those topics. From the same team that brought you Crystalz, the highly successful crystal structure visualizer, Crystalz AR is the world’s premier augmented reality visualization app for crystal structures. Using high definition, three-dimensional models, Crystalz AR allows the user to view and explore all 14 Bravais lattice structures, putting each of them right there in the room with you! A perfect textbook companion, this app allows the user to walk around and view the shapes of crystals from any viewpoint as well as see information about cell sizes and angles. Additionally, for the three cubic lattice structures, Crystalz AR includes two extra viewing modes: a space filling mode that shows the atoms without a wire frame, and a unit cell mode that shows only the portions of the atoms designated to each unit cell. If you’re a chemistry student or just interested in how crystal structures work, then Crystalz AR is for you!
