Explore PDB Structures in AR/VR

04/14 

Launch AR/VR Mode in Mol* at RCSB.org

RCSB.org supports immersive Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) visualization directly within the Mol* 3D viewer.

With immersive visualization, users can examine large macromolecular assemblies, investigate protein–ligand interactions, and better understand the three-dimensional organization of biological molecules by viewing structures at scale and from new perspectives.

This feature builds on the powerful capabilities of Mol* to provide modern, interactive visualization tools. Detailed instructions, supported devices, controls, and performance recommendations are available.
