This project is a collaboration between Dr. Alan Craig and I. We accomplished developing a pipeline for visualizing any PDB protein using Augmented Reality. Published here. We began VisMe in a NSF funded internship hosted by Shodor, and since the conclusion of that internship we have continued to grow this project. We are excited to release this project and have more on the way. Release date (Android and iOS) TBA.

This project combines many techniques that come from my multidisciplinary background. I used Unity 3D and an allocation on the Blue Waters Supercomputer, molecular data from the PDB, scripting languages such as c#, javascript, tcl, cgi, and managed both ends of querying a server. I also employed an iterative design process, and surveyed real professors, researchers, and students to inform the design and functionality of the application.
