PROJECT OVERVIEW

Protein Visualization Visualizing the structures from the Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics Protein Data Bank (RCSB PDB) in AR/VR using Unity

Ocean Graphic Data

PROGRESS LOG

Week 1 (5/28 - 5/30)

• Installed and familiarized ourselves with the Unity Engine
• Successfully connected the Hololens to the Unity engine and created a simple test program

Week 2 (6/03 - 6/06)

• Created sample AR apps that are compatible with both IOS and Android devices
• Finalized two datasets which we will be working on data visualization for.
  • Protein Folding Data: ​https://www.rcsb.org/
  • Ocean and atmospheric data: ​https://rucool.marine.rutgers.edu/integrated-ocean-technology/ocean-radar/
• Wrote scripts to facilitate resizing and rotation of objects in preparation for interacting with proteins and other target objects
• Migrated our progress to the new computers

Week 3 (6/10 - 6/13)

RCSB PDB

• Successfully visualized proteins through PyMol and imported models into Unity
• Began work on direct conversion of PDB files into Unity without use of external program
