Keita Funakawa of Nanome Inc., creating “Global real-time collaboration using Virtual Reality from general chemistry to pharmaceutical drug discovery,” shares the experience innovating viral protease inhibitors for SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) using artificial intelligence and VR.

We will also hear ways Nanome is advancing academic research, and being used in Harvard Chemistry classrooms exploring computational molecular and chemical structures with VR.

HUVAR Talks are NOT limited to Harvard affiliates, so please invite interested colleagues!

The Harvard University Virtual & Augmented Reality (HUVAR) group works to bring together staff, faculty, researchers and students from across campus interested in integrating XR in their teaching and/or research. HUVAR runs an active Slack channel used to disseminate information, recommendations, and to brainstorm how-tos for all things 3D and 360º. Additionally, the group organizes regular talks in Zoom to invite academic colleagues and XR vendors to update us as to their practices and/or products.

HUVAR is led by Susan Berstler (Technology Specialist for Libraries, Cabot Science Library) and Matt Cook (Digital Scholarship Program Manager, Harvard Library) with coordinator Andrew Leonard, of Harvard Library Preservation Services.

Find us on Slack! Anyone can join…
