In this section you can know which projects are using OpenMOIV.

UPF projects

The European funded project LINK3D started in January 2001, with the aim of developing a collaborative real-time interactive environment for professionals in the field of molecular discovery, including the creation, modification and on-line discussion of shared 3D molecular structures. OpenMOIV has been used for the visualisation and interaction of molecular drugs in the project.

This project follows a line of investigation about new paradigms related to the creation of high resolution graphics in real time, by innovating in the development of an open-source platform which allows to the creative people work with post-production of digitals films in real time with fewer efforts.

The Speed-FX platform is based on a cluster of PCs offering the possibility to render 3D scenes in parallel. UPF has developed a plugin to render molecular scenes which runs in Speed-FX. OpenMOIV was the library used for the rendering.

TIFANIS (Tele-Immersion For Applications Supporting New Interactive Services) is an European co-operation project under the CELTIC-EUREKA cluster, focused on designing and implementing a full tele-immersive system, with several trial scenarios.

UPF role in TIFANIS has been related to providing graphics support to the platform, and enabling 3D graphics for the specific molecular application field.

Third-party software

Programme GRID is a computational procedure for determining energetically favourable binding sites on molecules of known structure. It may be used to study individual molecules such as drugs, molecular arrays such as membranes or crystals, and macromolecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, glycoproteins or polysaccharides. Several different molecules can be processed one after the other.

Gview is the application used by GRID to visualize Molecular Interaction Fields (MIF) and molecular structures. Molecules and MIF are represented as objects in an interactive 3D scenario where the user can rotate, translate and scale these objects. The application can also be used to export the data to standard formats (Sybyl, InsightII) and to print the images. OpenMOIV is the library used by Gview for molecular rendering tasks.

Extensible Computational Chemistry Environment

The Extensible Computational Chemistry Environment (Ecce) provides a sophisticated graphical user interface, scientific visualization tools, and the underlying data management framework that enables scientists to efficiently set up and execute calculations, and store, retrieve, and analyze data produced by computational chemistry studies.

Ecce's original quantum chemistry visualization requirements were satisfied by the Molecular Inventor package. However, support for molecular dynamics studies is now being added and Ecce will benefit greatly from the additional rendering capabilities offered by OpenMOIV.
