ProMVR - Protein Multiplayer Virtual Reality Tool

Due to the pandemic limitations caused by Covid-19, people need to work at home and carry on the meetings virtually. Virtual meeting tools start popularizing and thriving. Those tools allow users to see each other through screen and camera, chat through voice and text, and share content or ideas through screen share. However, screen sharing protein models through virtual meetings is not easy due to the difficulty of viewing protein 3D (Three Dimensional) structures from a 2D (Two Dimensional) screen. Moreover, interactions upon a protein are also limited. ProMVR is a tool the author developed to tackle the issue that protein designers may find limitations working in a traditional 2D or 3D environment and they may find it hard to communicate their ideas with other designers. Since ProMVR is a VR tool, it allows users to “jump into” a virtual environment, take a close look at protein models, and have intuitive interactions.
