Virtual reality (VR) enables protein visualization in stereoscopic 3D, but many VR molecular-visualization programs are expensive and challenging to use work only on specific VR headsets rely on complicated model-preparation software and/or require the user to install separate programs or plugins. Here we introduce ProteinVR, a web-based application that works on various VR setups and operating systems. ProteinVR displays molecular structures within 3D environments that give useful biological context and allow users to situate themselves in 3D space. Our web-based implementation is ideal for hypothesis generation and education in research and large-classroom settings. We release ProteinVR under the open-source BSD-3-Clause license. A copy of the program is available free of charge from, and a working version can be accessed at. How we interact with computer graphics has not changed significantly from viewing 2D text and images on a flatscreen since their invention. Yet, recent advances in computing technology, internetworked devices and gaming are driving the design and development of new ideas in other modes of human-computer interfaces (HCIs). Virtual Reality (VR) technology uses computers and HCIs to create the feeling of immersion in a three-dimensional (3D) environment that contains interactive objects with a sense of spatial presence, where objects have a spatial location relative to, and independent of the users. "Whether that will work or not is another thing, we’ll have to see," he said.While this virtual environment does not necessarily match the real world, by creating the illusion of reality, it helps users leverage the full range of human sensory capabilities. This could include turning on settings so moderators had to approve posts before they were published and also by adding disclaimers they were not responsible for defamatory material posted by members. Professor Flood said moderators and administrators of social media community groups could do several things to lower the risk of defamation. Source: Facebook How to protect yourself online Ban members who consistently break the rules.Use the delete tools – delete posts or comments that break the group's rules.Warn members after first breach of the rules, let them know the consequences of further breaches.Have a set of policies for group participation that are clear, so all members can easily see if rules are broken.

"It does mean that moderators of community groups are going to have to be very careful about what they allow to stay up on their site." Tips for managing a Facebook group

"If you're the defamed person you can essentially sue the person who did the defamation or the publisher of the defamation," he said.
