This article reports prototype 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 in interactive immersive 3D, coarse-grained modeling of molecular physics , on-the-fly calculation of experimental observables and overlay of experimental data, and simulated chemical reactivity . From this bases, future perspectives are depicted on how these emerging technologies might be coupled in the future to neural network-based quantum chemistry calculations, other advanced forms of human-computer interaction such as speech-based communication , sockets for concurrent collaboration through the internet , and other technologies . Together, all these technologies that are today available in web browsers will likely lead to the next generation of tools for truly interactive  molecular modeling that can streamline human thought and intent with the numerical processing power of computers.
This article reports prototype 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. Example web apps showcase applications that could go well beyond pedagogy, i.e. advancing actual utility in research settings: molecular visualization at atomistic and coarse-grained levels in interactive immersive 3D, coarse-grained modeling of molecular physics and chemistry, and on-the-fly calculation of experimental observables and overlay onto experimental data . From this playground, I depict perspectives on how these emerging technologies might couple in the future to neural network-based quantum chemistry calculations, advanced forms of human-computer interaction such as speech-based communication and sockets for concurrent collaboration through the internet -all technologies that are today maturing in web browsers- to deliver the next generation of tools for truly interactive , immersive molecular modeling that can streamline human thought and intent with the numerical processing power of computers.
