2.1 Specific features and types of AR Tools

An AR application for this purpose would be more than just a visualization tool; it would be a dynamic platform for discovery, design, and problem-solving. Key features and tools could include:

  • 3D Model Visualization: Allowing students to interact with 3D models of molecules, atoms, proteins and antibodies.
  • Interactive "What If" Scenarios: Users could manipulate drug variables (e.g.,toxicity) and see the AR-projected impact on molecules.
  • Simulations: Placing students virtually within different settings to observe the impact of various variables on drug discovery (e.g., seeing how a protein reacts to a drug).
