1 Nov 2023 | | Abstract: | MolecularWebXR is our new website for education, science communication and
scientific peer discussion in chemistry and biology built on WebXR. It
democratizes multi-user, inclusive virtual reality (VR) experiences that are
deeply immersive for users wearing high-end headsets, yet allow participation
by users with consumer devices such as smartphones, possibly inserted into
cardboard goggles for immersivity, or even computers or tablets. With no
installs as it is all web-served, MolecularWebXR enables multiple users to
simultaneously explore, communicate and discuss chemistry and biology concepts
in immersive 3D environments, manipulating objects with their bare hands,
either present in the same real space or scattered throughout the globe thanks
to built-in audio features. A series of preset rooms cover educational material
on chemistry and structural biology, and an empty room can be populated with
material prepared ad hoc using moleculARweb’s VMD-based PDB2AR tool. We
verified ease of use and versatility by users aged 12-80 in entirely virtual
sessions or mixed real-virtual sessions at science outreach events, student
instruction, scientific collaborations, and conference lectures. MolecularWebXR
is available for free use without registration at this https URL,
and a blog post version of this preprint with embedded videos is available at
this https URL | | Source: | arXiv, 2311.00385 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
