Accessibility of Complex Concepts

Augmented Reality (AR) activities created in Delightex significantly enhance the learning process by transforming abstract genetic concepts into clear, interactive, and visual experiences. By immersing students in simulations of DNA structure and mutation processes, AR supports deeper understanding and active exploration of how mutations occur and affect organisms.

Mutation types such as frameshift mutations, chromosomal inversions, or translocations are often difficult to understand through diagrams alone. In Delightex, students can explore these mutations step by step, visually following how DNA segments are added, removed, duplicated, or flipped. This interactive approach bridges the gap between abstract genetic theory and concrete understanding, making challenging concepts more accessible to diverse learners (Strachan & Read, 2018).
