  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MOLECULAR DESIGN AND SIMULATION
    Publication number: 20210224439
    Abstract: A system and method for molecular design and simulation is disclosed. In one aspect, a system for simulating a molecular structure includes a processor configured to simulate the molecular structure, a head-mounted display (HMD) configured to display the molecular structure, and at least one handheld input device. The input device may be configured to: receive input from a user, the input being indicative of movement of the handheld input device in 6 degrees-of-freedom (DoF), and selectively map, based on additional user input and at least one property of the molecular structure, one of the DoF to one of a plurality of defined techniques for altering the molecular structure. The processor may be configured to modify the molecular structure based on the received input as mapped to the selected defined technique.
    Type: Application
