NanoVer is an open-source and flexible software package for collaborative interactive molecular dynamics simulations in virtual reality (iMD-VR). NanoVer consists of a python web server connected to a physics engine (e.g. OpenMM), a jupyter notebook client and a Unity VR client.

How to use it

Set up your own NanoVer server and client following the project documentation.
