“…Educational approaches can be further divided based on the educational goal. In some cases, the focus is on broadening the understanding of structural aspects of molecules—focusing on their overall shape, symmetries, or other spatial characteristics [NSM*12, BJ14, CŠR*20, LTK20, PTA*20, SWL*20]. Therefore, the user mostly perceives and explores the presented structure as is.…”

“…In some applications, the visualized structures are pre‐generated in some existing molecular visualization tool and then imported as a common three‐dimensional model [BJ14, SKLCM18, SW19, ENP20, SWL*20, SF21, FCS21]. In other approaches, the structures are rendered in real‐time based on underlying data, as common in regular molecular visualization tools [MKH*18, KBL*19, CŠR*20, LTK20]. Each of these approaches comes with its strong and weak points.…”

Visualization plays a crucial role in molecular and structural biology. It has been successfully applied to a variety of tasks, including structural analysis and interactive drug design. While some of the challenges in this area can be overcome with more advanced visualization and interaction techniques, others are challenging primarily due to the limitations of the hardware devices used to interact with the visualized content. Consequently, visualization researchers are increasingly trying to take advantage of new technologies to facilitate the work of domain scientists. Some typical problems associated with classic 2D interfaces, such as regular desktop computers, are a lack of natural spatial understanding and interaction, and a limited field of view. These problems could be solved by immersive virtual environments and corresponding hardware, such as virtual reality head‐mounted displays. Thus, researchers are investigating the potential of immersive virtual environments in the field of molecular visualization. There is already a body of work ranging from educational approaches to protein visualization to applications for collaborative drug design. This review focuses on molecular visualization in immersive virtual environments as a whole, aiming to cover this area comprehensively. We divide the existing papers into different groups based on their application areas, and types of tasks performed. Furthermore, we also include a list of available software tools. We conclude the report with a discussion of potential future research on molecular visualization in immersive environments.

“…Research on the use of android smartphones for science learning has been carried out, such as the use of learning android smartphones by creating virtual laboratories (Arista & Kuswanto, 2018), augmented reality to teach the concept of the human circulatory system (Gnidovec et al, 2020) and macromolecular concepts (Lee & Tucker-Kellogg, 2020), as well as android learning media to teach acid and base concepts (Kaukaba & Lutfi, 2022).…”

This study aims to describe visual representation-based android learning media to improve students' representation abilities based on the views of teachers and students. This research involved 39 science teachers and 181 junior high school students in Lampung province. The method used in this study is a mixed method with an explanatory sequential design in order to obtain quantitative and qualitative data through questionnaires and interviews. The results of the study show that teachers and students have a positive perception of the development of visual representation-based android learning media. This study found the fact that there were several factors that caused teachers not to pay attention to students' representation abilities. The teacher believes that the use of learning media can train students' representation abilities and have an impact on increasing student representation abilities.

“…A number of AR tools have promoted the development of biochemistry teaching [20][21]. Several software packages can simulate the relationship between the structure and function of biological macromolecules, such as BioChemAR [22], Augment [23], ArBioLab [24], Palantir [25] and so on. However, most existing tools were dedicated for university students and scientific research.…”

Mobile Augmented Reality (MAR) is considered to be a promising tool in science classes to foster kids' imagination. In this paper, a parametric simulation method of DNA three-dimensional structure is proposed for middle school biology class. Affine transformation was used to stack and spiral complementary paired nucleotides in three-dimensional space according to the structural parameters of different DNA conformations. The process of vector construction was dynamically simulated by the recognition technologies (i.e., image characteristics and collision detection). The prototype system was developed using mobile technologies, which combines multiple interactive methods (i.e., viewing, listening, touching, and physical objects) to provide users with an appropriate learning and cognitive way. The system is useful for learners (especially K-12 students) to utilize the fragments of spare time outside the class to promote the cognition of DNA. In the future, such technology-assisted education would be a popular open learning form.
