I received a flyer from Thieme today about the use of a new “augmented reality” 
molecular viewer,  known as the  HTMoL – AR plugin

To quote

“Originally developed as a part of the Organic Chemistry Science 
Gateway<http://www.leygroup.ch.cam.ac.uk/research/science-gateway>, the 
web-based application takes advantage from Augmented Reality technology to 
allow the user to quickly access specific molecular structural data with 
visualisation among a large number of computed structures, from any computing 
device equipped with a camera and an Internet connection.

Before  I  dare suggest  these particular authors  (doi: 10.1055/s-0035-1562579 
) are jumping onto a fashionable “AR” bandwagon,  I wonder if there is anything 
at all in the capabilities of this molecular viewer that  JSmol and  Jmol 
cannot do, and perchance do better?

Has any  Jmol-user the time/patience to see if  HTMoL-AR maps convincingly onto 
the existing capability of  JSmol?

PS The camera is apparently needed to resolve a  QR-code!  Or have  I missed 
something?
