论文摘要
我们根据虚拟现实(VR)中的可视化以及与力反馈手套的相互作用,为物理分子构造套件的虚拟版本提供了分子素。针对化学教育,我们的目标是使虚拟分子结构更加切实。初始用户研究的结果表明,VR分子构造套件被积极收到。与物理构造套件相比,在自然相互作用方面,VR分子结构套件处于相同的水平。此外,它促进了典型的数字优势,例如分子的节省,出口和共享。研究参与者的反馈还揭示了有形分子可视化的潜在未来途径。
We contribute MolecuSense, a virtual version of a physical molecule construction kit, based on visualization in Virtual Reality (VR) and interaction with force-feedback gloves. Targeting at chemistry education, our goal is to make virtual molecule structures more tangible. Results of an initial user study indicate that the VR molecular construction kit was positively received. Compared to a physical construction kit, the VR molecular construction kit is on the same level in terms of natural interaction. Besides, it fosters the typical digital advantages though, such as saving, exporting, and sharing of molecules. Feedback from the study participants has also revealed potential future avenues for tangible molecule visualizations.
