Before revision: This article reports proof-of-concept web apps that use commodity  open-source technologies for augmented and virtual reality to tackle real-world problems from chemistryand structural biology . The apps include demonstrations of molecular visualization at atomistic and coarse-grained levels  , coarse-grained modeling of molecular physics, on-the-fly calculation of experimental observables and comparison to actual data, and simulated chemical reactivity.
After revision: This article reports proof-of-concept web apps that use commodity open-source technologies for augmented and virtual reality to provide immersive, interactive human-computer interfaces for chemistry, structural biology and related disciplines. Examples web apps showcase applications that go well beyond pedagogy, reaching actual utility in research settings: molecular visualization at atomistic and coarse-grained levels , coarse-grained modeling of molecular physics, on-the-fly calculation of experimental observables and comparison to actual data, and simulated chemical reactivity.
