In this phase, learning is deepened through Delightex as the main interactive environment. All activities take place inside a Delightex scene, where Augmented Reality (AR) elements, information panels, and reflection tasks are combined into one coherent learning experience.

For students aged 14–18, topics such as DNA mutations, inheritance patterns, and gene–protein interactions can be difficult to understand through text alone. Delightex helps bridge this gap by integrating 3D AR models, guided tasks, and reflection prompts into a single immersive space, allowing students to actively explore complex genetic concepts (Wallis, 2018).

Connecting Genetics to Real-World Contexts

Delightex scenes also support real-world application of genetic knowledge. Through AR-supported scenarios, students explore roles such as genetic counsellors or patients and reflect on how genetic information is used in healthcare.

For example:

students analyse the impact of a BRCA gene mutation using AR models and discussion prompts,
ethical panels raise questions about genetic testing, privacy, and data protection.

These tasks help learners understand how genomic science affects individuals and society, supporting interdisciplinary learning across biology, ethics, and technology (NHGRI, 2024).
