The goal of our project is to develop a new type of chemical educational systems by using a haptic device to virtually feel attractive and repulsive force in the van der Waals molecular interaction. We focus on the interaction between rare-gas atoms (He, Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe) and construct a robust basic system. Two visually different systems are developed. One is E-HaptiChem, which uses a 3D-multimedia open-source graphics library, JUN as a general basis and a chemical open-source graphics library, ChemoJun as a chemical tool. Another one uses an AVS graphics library. In the current phase, basic functions are developed and implemented to the both systems. This paper outlines the project, methods, and the first results from the systems.
