PERIPHERAL EQUIPMENT ON A MOLECULAR MODELING COMPUTER SYSTEM AND A METHOD OF DESIGNING THE SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of designing peripheral equipment for molecular modeling system on a computer. In more detail, it relates to a method of designing peripheral equipment that provides intuitive input/output devices to a molecular modeling system so that a user can display a molecule on a computer and comprehend various characteristics of the molecule at once. By separating the screens corresponding to left/right eyes respectively, the present invention makes it possible to output a stereo-view of a molecule. In addition, for assisting a user to easily handle two or more molecules on a computer, the present invention provides gloves, a spatial location tracking instrument, and a force feedback joystick, which transfers the interaction force between two molecules to the user, as input devices in addition to the conventional computer input devices, a keyboard and a mouse.
