Project Details
- Atomic level exploration of a variety of different types of molecular presentation.
- Using a head-mounted display and hand-held input device, a virtual environment of three molecules with different representations to facilitate situational analysis and exploration.
- Chemists use different representations for different applications. This simulation allows active use, comparison, and contrast of several types for more complete exploration.
