✷ AR CRYSTAL

A two-phone X-ray diffraction lab. One phone is the crystal — tilt it under the beam. The other is the detector — sweep it through the air to catch the scatter spots and name the mineral.

I'm the Crystal
Hold & tilt the crystal in the X-ray beam. You'll know the secret mineral; they have to guess it.

I'm the Detector
Camera + motion. Move the phone to catch the diffraction spots in space and read their symmetry.

Both phones must enter the same room code. iOS will ask for Motion & Orientation and Camera access — tap allow. Works best in Safari over Wi-Fi in the same room. A single-phone version explains the physics.

Testing alone? Open a stand-in bot on a laptop with the same room code to play the other side.

Tilt the phone to rotate the lattice. Line up its symmetry axes with the beam to give your partner a clean pattern — or hide them to make it hard.

Catch the spots, read the symmetry, then name the crystal system.
