Chemistry learning at the junior high school level often faces challenges because many concepts are abstract and difficult to imagine, such as acid-base reactions. To overcome this, Augmented Reality (AR) technology can be used as an interactive and engaging learning medium. This study aims to develop an AR-based learning medium that can help junior high school students understand the concept of acid-base reactions in a more visual and enjoyable way. This medium displays 3D simulations of acid and base solutions, indicator color changes, and reaction results directly through devices such as smartphones or tablets. The results of the trial show that the use of AR in learning can increase students' interest in learning, understanding of concepts, and active participation in class. With an attractive and easy-to-use display, AR is an innovative solution to bring students closer to chemistry concepts that were previously difficult to understand.
