Doc Molecules was conceived for an Arcade machine with a haptic arm enabling a touch sensation to construct molecular assemblies. By exploring the mode of action of a drug that is frequently prescribed to combat allergies, the DocMolecule player moves his way up through visualisation and manipulation of molecules. DocMolecules is a combination of UnityMol and Biospring, a physical simulation engine designed for research purposes and reused here to dock molecules together and score the player’s achievements.
DocMolecules is a joint project coordinated by Espace des Sciences in Rennes, together with University of Rennes and Polymorph software. We provided the underlying softwares, both UnityMol and BioSpring, as well as scientific advice.
