Abstract	Facile visualization of biomolecules is an essential component of the undergraduate biochemistry curriculum. In the past, a number of tools have been used to display biomolecules. More recently, the advent of greater accessibility to virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) programs has created a new mechanism to visualize biomolecules. However, creation of VR and AR programs often requires extensive coding experience. In order to expand the utility of AR programs in visualization of biomolecules, we enabled undergraduate students to create their own AR protein visualization tool using an off-the-shelf program running in multiplatform smartphones or tablets to enhance student inclusivity. Assessment of this program shows that students can create their own biomolecule models, were enthusiastic about doing so, and found that their learning was enhanced when this AR module was inserted into their upper level biochemistry class. This activity could be readily adapted for remote and online learning. (As Provided).
