Interactive large-scale deformations of molecular structures

Participants : Jelmer Wolterink, Himani Singhal, Marc Piuzzi, Stephane Redon.

We have developed new interaction methods for large-scale deformation of molecular structures. These new methods allow a user to attach control points to molecules, and use these control points to easily deform the structures while preserving their realism (e.g. local interactions, etc.). The new methods may be applied to any type of molecule (e.g. proteins, carbon nanotubes, etc.), and may be used in combination with interactive simulation.
