3D Molecules Visualization with XRmol: An AR Web Tool for Mobile Devices

We present XRmol, a prototype web application, based on the WebXR standard, for visualizing 3D proteins and nucleic acids. The work represents a contribution to the investigation of the potential stemming from the AR paradigm coupled with the use of personal smartphones and features a number of solutions for improving access, portability, and use in different contexts. A first pilot study with 14 volunteers outlines its potential for integration into daily lab activities and use in educational contexts.
