<p><b> by Jeff Donlan</b></p>A virtual chemistry lab allows users to safely perform experiments in a virtual world. The Virtual Augmented Laboratory</a>, or VAL, was developed by French company XXII. 3D-printed beakers and an interactive Bunsen burner are used to mix and heat chemicals. An instructor uses a smartphone to guide and monitor the users. VAL is still a prototype, but may soon make chemistry class much more exciting –– and less dangerous.<p> </p></p><br /> <p>The post Future Chemistry Classes Could Be Taught In A Virtual Lab</a> appeared first on Vocativ</a>.</p>
