Step Inside
Crystal Structures

Experience crystal structures at human scale — walk through atomic lattices, measure geometry, explore Miller planes, and learn from within.

CrystalRoom transforms real crystallographic data into interactive 3D structures you can explore, measure, and physically walk through on Apple Vision Pro.

Features
Built for precision exploration.
🔭

Explore from your space

Study crystal structures in a native visionOS workspace. Rotate and zoom the model, inspect atoms, build supercells, highlight elements from the legend or by search, view crystallographic axes, and arrange supporting windows around you. Undo and redo view changes, and pick up where you left off — your structure, supercell, and view are restored when you return.

🌐

Step inside the crystal

Enter full immersion and walk through a room-scale lattice. Tap atoms around you to inspect their identity, coordinates, bonding, and local environment. Scale the lattice around you, switch structures without leaving immersion, and keep essential controls within reach.

📐

Measure atomic geometry

Select two atoms to measure distance or three atoms to measure an angle. CrystalRoom draws guide lines directly on the structure so measurements stay spatially connected to the atoms you are studying, and keeps a history of your measurements.

See more of the structure

  • Build independent a/b/c supercells up to 5×5×5 (the largest unit cells are capped automatically to keep Vision Pro responsive)
  • Visualize coordination polyhedra
  • Complete boundary coordination with display-only edge atoms
  • Explore Miller planes with adjustable h, k, l indices and (100), (110), (111) presets
  • View live d-spacing, in the panel and on the plane itself
  • Display one plane or an entire plane family, and offset planes through the lattice
  • Search for an element and highlight every matching atom
  • Inspect fractional and Cartesian coordinates
  • View space group, lattice parameters, atom counts, bond counts, and parser warnings
🧭

Guided exploration

A 20-step guided tour of the windowed workspace, an interactive immersive Halite tour, and a generated “Tour This Structure” experience that adapts to the crystal you are viewing.

⚛️

Built on real crystallographic data

CrystalRoom reconstructs its structures from bundled CIF crystallographic data, including space-group symmetry expansion, special-position handling, disorder handling, crystallographic coordinate transforms, and chemically informed bond detection. Its scientific pipeline is backed by an automated test suite covering lattice mathematics, structure parsing, published bond lengths, coordination, Miller-plane geometry, guided-tour logic, scene limits, and reference structures cross-checked against established crystallographic tooling.

Who It's For
From the classroom to the lab.

CrystalRoom serves anyone who thinks spatially about matter.

🎓

Students

Chemistry, materials science, geoscience, mineralogy, and physics — crystallography is everywhere. Stop memorizing 2D diagrams and actually see what's being described.

🔬

Researchers

Verify structure intuitions, communicate lattice arrangements to collaborators, and build spatial understanding of the systems you're studying.

📖

Educators

Teach atomic structure with a level of visual fidelity that textbooks and whiteboards can't match. Guided tours and auto-spin mode were built for the classroom.
