Nanome AI announced a CryoEM plugin for its VR app to visualize biological samples captured with an electron microscope, accelerating medical breakthroughs via molecular design.
In a sea of VR games, Nanome AI stands out as one of the best examples of using the power of virtual reality productively. The company’s Nanome VR app allows researchers to explore the mysteries of molecules at the nanometer scale. This technology has many uses, but medical research is among the most important.
Nanome also helps students learn, and the latest updates will make that even easier. Holographic recording is now possible to allow students to view pre-recorded material as well as real-time interaction.

Using VR for visualization is helpful, but Nanome goes even further, allowing compounds to be modified in real-time as if working with physical models with your hands. You can see real-time collaboration via two Quest Pro headsets and computer user in the image above.
Nanome could already connect to several databases and can now access cryogenic electron microscopy as well. This critical update allows the study of large molecules and complex biological processes that are inaccessible from X-ray scans.
When real-time collaboration isn’t possible due to different time zones, Nanome AI’s recent addition of spatial recording allows researchers to record their work and share it with others.
The new deep-linking function provides a way to bring web apps, custom databases, and documents into the 3D environment, enriching resources and keeping the workflow seamless.
