Virtual Reality Chemistry

We have leveraged the uniquely immersive platform of virtual reality (VR) to launch new and interactive chemistry resources. With a compatible VR headset, you can load and interact with organic molecules in three dimensions, and learn about their relevance to our daily lives! The 3-minute video below provides a tutorial on how to use these resources. Additionally, you can check out this news story in the Daily Bruin highlighting these new tools, the motivation behind them, and where we see the technology going in the future.
