Visualize and interact with molecular simulations in virtual and augmented reality.
NanoVer iMD-XR is an immersive XR client for molecular dynamics, built for scientists, students, and curious minds. Explore atomic-scale structures and physically interact with simulations, all from inside your headset.
NanoVer is an open-source framework developed at the Intangible Realities Laboratory (IRL). It supports simulations powered by OpenMM and ASE, and has been used in published research across chemistry and structural biology.
Two ways of using NanoVer iMD-XR:
- Watch online demos: Replay from a selection of recorded interactive molecular dynamics (iMD) sessions.
- Interact live: Connect to a NanoVer server running on your computer or local network and interact with a live simulation in real time. Grab molecules, apply forces, and observe how molecular systems respond to your input.
Perfect for: research groups, university teaching labs, science communicators, and anyone who wants to experience molecular science from the inside.
Visit nanover.org to learn more about the project, publications, and how to setup your own simulation server.
