Hololens Goes Education
Diving into a protein. Not possible? Things have changed with the invention of Microsoft's Hololens which allow holograms to be projected into a real room. Our apps Molegram Explorer & Molegram Scientist enable students to interact with a protein, walk around it to examine it or even dive into it to look beneath the protein's surface (Material shown on this page is from Molegram Explorer). We use this new technology during practical classes to improve the understanding of 3D molecular surfaces and the basic concepts of ligand-receptor interaction.
This project was realized with support of the LET department of ETH and the company external pageafca.
Please see the movies below to learn more about this technology.
For further information or if you are interested to show it to your students please contact Jan Hiss.
Dive into the world of molecules
Brand new technology in the classroom: students immerse themselves in a “mixed reality” and use HoloLens glasses to learn a fundamental principle of proteins.

ETH-Dozenten setzen Hologramme ein, um Studierende in die Welt der Moleküle zu entführen. Damit wird Chemie deutlich fassbarer. Ein Selbstversuch.
