Graphical Interfaces and Virtual Reality for Molecular Sciences

2013 
The graphical description of molecular systems has always been a fundamental topic of chemistry. The introduction of interactive computer graphics led to the development of a new research field known as computer molecular graphics. The aim of this article is to provide a survey on the vast field of molecular graphics, describing the techniques and the algorithms used to create computer-generated representations of molecular systems. The emerging role of immersive virtual reality and natural user interfaces is also examined. Finally, some applications are presented as examples about the role of graphical user interfaces in modern chemical research.
