VisionMol: a novel virtual reality tool for protein molecular structure visualization and manipulation.

ABSTRACT:

Motivation & results

Virtual reality (VR) technology holds significant potential for applications in biomedicine, particularly in the visualization and manipulation of protein molecular structures. To facilitate the study of protein molecules and enable the state-of-the-art VR hardware, we developed a novel VR software named VisionMol, which allows users to engage in immersive exploration and analysis of 3D molecular structures using a range of VR platforms (such as Rhino X Pro, Meta's Oculus Quest Pro/3) as well as personal computers. Built on the Unity engine and programmed using C#, VisionMol incorporates custom scripts to enable a variety of molecular operations. Users can rotate, scale, and translate molecular models using gestures, controllers, or other input devices. Further
