== PROJECT OVERVIEW

**Protein Visualization**
Visualizing the structures from the Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics Protein Data Bank (RCSB PDB) in AR/VR using Unity

**Ocean Graphic Data**


== PROGRESS LOG

**Week 1 (5/28 - 5/30)**

- Installed and familiarized ourselves with the Unity Engine
- Successfully connected the Hololens to the Unity engine and created a simple test program

**Week 2 (6/03 - 6/06)**

- Created sample AR apps that are compatible with both IOS and Android devices
- Finalized two datasets which we will be working on data visualization for. 
   - Protein Folding Data: https://www.rcsb.org/ 
   - Ocean and atmospheric data: https://rucool.marine.rutgers.edu/integrated-ocean-technology/ocean-radar/
- Wrote scripts to facilitate resizing and rotation of objects in preparation for interacting with proteins and other target objects
- Migrated our progress to the new computers

**Week 3 (6/10 - 6/13)**

RCSB PDB
- Successfully visualized proteins through PyMol and imported models into Unity
- Began work on direct conversion of PDB files into Unity without use of external program
