  2. Perovskite Solar Cell Surface

This VR/AR/XR rendition shows the topography of a surface of a perovskite solar cell at the nanoscale and is obtained from Atomic Force Microscope data. The perovskite solar cell is an emerging type of renewable energy research. Knowledge of the surface through measurement is critical in improving the sample preparation procedures for better device performance.

Instructions:  Use your smartphone(newer iPhones work best) camera to open the Augmented Reality (AR) Code by pointing the camera at the AR code and clicking on the yellow “Adobe Aero” tab (without downloading any apps.)  It is only necessary to give Adobe permission to access your phone (just like accessing a QR code.) Click on the blue “Continue” tab when it appears. To land the image find a flat open area and click the gray dots that appear on your phone covering the flat surface. Once you have anchored the image you can now walk around it viewing from all sides from your phone.
