Use Materials VR

About This Software

MaterialsVR lets you interact with molecular models in Virtual Reality. Add planes to create cross section. See electron density isosurfaces and load your own CHGCAR files.

Features

• Toolbar

Start by selecting a molecule from the menu. Each model is accompanied by a toolbar above. Use it to enable rotation, disable bounding box, or add a plane that intersects with the molecule.

• Cross Section View

You can set a plane to be the cross section plane by clicking the button on top. Only meshes on one side of the plane will be rendered.

• Electron density

Click on the "Molecule" title bar to switch to isosurfaces. From there, you may select a isosurface model generated from CHGCAR files. You can modify the isosurface level in the toolbar.
