NanoSpin: A Glimpse into Nanome's Vision for the Future with Apple Vision Pro

March 8, 2024

Earlier this week, we launched NanoSpin for Apple Vision Pro – A fun app that lets you spin a variety of different types of molecules.

As we’re hard at work on porting our full Nanome platform to Apple Vision Pro, we've created a lite experience that allows you to interact with molecules and chemistry in a way never before possible on any Apple device.

Step into the Sci-Fi Reality

Imagine twirling a DNA molecule with the finesse of Tony Stark, surrounded by the sleek interface of the Apple Vision Pro. NanoSpin brings this science fiction dream to life, empowering you to interact with molecules like caffeine or DNA as if you were a superhero in a sci-fi blockbuster.

Our first Bounded Volume App

Unlike existing AR/VR experiences like the Meta Quest headset, the visionOS introduces an innovative approach to spatial computing by offering "bounded volume apps." This unique feature allows applications to be displayed in a designated bounded cube or space, rather than occupying the full immersive environment. This design choice opens up new possibilities for multitasking and interaction within a virtual environment, making visionOS a groundbreaking spatial computing operating system for immersive applications. As a result, for the first time, Nanome presents a multitasking experience that integrates seamlessly with your daily digital interactions within Apple Vision Pro. Whether you’re browsing Safari, watching spatial videos, or reading your favorite sci-fi novel, NanoSpin allows you to have spinning molecular models at your fingertips, enhancing your digital landscape in a dynamic, interactive way. This multi-layered experience is a first-of-its-kind departure from our existing applications.

A New Era for Nanome

NanoSpin is a testament to several firsts for Nanome:

  • Our first product compatible with any Apple device.
  • The first Nanome experience that no longer requires controllers, embracing the intuitive power of hand & eye-tracking technology.
  • A pioneering experience that signifies a new era for Nanome, one that harmonizes with Apple’s vision of seamless integration and intuitive design of visionOS.

The first step with Apple Vision Pro

We’d like our community to think of NanoSpin as the enticing appetizer to the full course that is yet to come with our complete app port to Apple Vision Pro. It's a taste of the potential, a demonstration of our commitment to innovative design, and a peek into the future of scientific exploration and molecular design.

Be sure to check out and download NanoSpin from the App Store! It's a small but significant step into a world where the nanoscale is as familiar to us as the devices we use every day.

We’ll have more to share when it comes to porting our full Nanome platform to visionOS later this year. Stay tuned!
