Hello! I come this time with some ideas..
Do you think there is any chance of coupling tracking.js
(https://trackingjs.com/) to JSmol, in order to move and zoom molecules through
hand gestures captured by a webcam? Not sure it will be useful, at least by
itself, but I think it would be not too hard for a JS expert to code, so it
might be worth trying.
A further development using tracking technologies -this one for sure much
harder- could in turn be based on augmented reality similar to what A. Olson is
doing, but with the simplicity, modularity and power of javascript. One could
explore interactions, geometries etc. by combining real solid models with
jsmol-powered calculations and visualization. I leave you here an example of
Olson's work from youtube (some life demos were amazing, but cannot find any
online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10vkI7sKF9A )
Just that!
