About

Materials VR

Features

Read full description

Materials VR uses virtual reality to help students visualize molecular structures. Molecules can be selected from a list and rotated or moved around by the user. The Google Cardboard version includes gaze input which allows the user to gaze at a button for 2 seconds to interact with it. Currently this app only offers a couple molecules to swap between. We are planning on adding more molecules, educational structure, and ways to interact with molecules.
