Abstract

Visualization of the numerical simulation is useful for understanding of physical phenomenon or chemical reaction. For example, graphical representation of the lines of electric force and the isosurfaces, which are calculated by the electrostatic potential around a molecule, with molecular structure brings you easier analysis and prediction about molecular properties. However, if you didn't have enough skills, it would be difficult to read these natures from the printing or the display, which originally are three-dimensional information. So, in this paper, we propose the new tool based on virtual reality technology, it is able to use for intuitive understanding. A main purpose of this system is to feel the Coulomb force around the molecule directly. Not only you can observe molecular properties three-dimensionally, but also you can feel the force from the electric field actually. The general personal computer, the stereoscopic device and the force display device on the market compose it. User is able to get interesting experiences by interactive operation.
