Read Our Whitepaper - Hyper Molecular Modeling: Making Computational Chemistry Tangible

One of the greatest challenges in teaching chemistry at any level is communicating the nature of things that we cannot see with the naked eye. Traditional molecular model kits, while effective, do not accurately convey the dynamic three-dimensional nature of molecules. Alternatively, computer-generated three-dimensional visualizations and simulations of molecules can help students obtain a better grasp of the abstract aspects of chemistry. However, computational models lack the intuitive feel of a 3-dimensional physical model. MolySym’s novel multimodal molecular modeling system creates a seamless interface between a hand held physical ball-and-stick molecular model and a computer generated virtual molecular model. We call this type of molecular modeling “hyper molecular modeling” or hypermodeling. In this paper we examine the critical role hypermodeling will play in the secondary education.
