MINT

Molecular Interaction with New Technology(MINT) is a virtual reality platform for visualizing and manipulating chemical structures. It utilizes gamification features like scoring and gesture-based input to facilitate the process of molecular structure exploration. It currently supports the HTC VIVE on PC and Google Cardboard on Android.

MINT's functionalties are compartmentalized into three user-friendly VR menu panels: Manipulation panel for interacting with virtual molecules; Visualization panel for rendering targets in various styles; And Utilities panel for other supporting features like importing/outputing molecules.

MINT can load and render any molecule data files of regular formats like PDB. Its backend takes advantage of CANDOCK to provide real-time scoring for player's interaction with molecules, which provides base for multiplayer competitive/collaborative gameplay.
