Built-In Structures
Six crystals. Every major system.

Each structure is fully interactive — rotate, zoom, expand into a supercell, and measure from any angle.

C
Diamond
Cubic

The ultimate covalent network — each carbon bonded to four others in a tetrahedral lattice of extraordinary hardness.

Au
Gold
Face-Centered Cubic

The archetypal FCC metal — closest-packed atoms arranged in a structure that gives gold its unique malleability.

NaCl
Halite (Rock Salt)
Cubic

The classic ionic crystal — alternating sodium and chloride ions in an interpenetrating FCC lattice.

CaTiO₃
Perovskite
Orthorhombic

One of the most technologically important structures — the template for solar cells, superconductors, and ferroelectrics.

SiO₂
Quartz
Trigonal

Silicon and oxygen in a helical lattice — the structure behind piezoelectricity and one of Earth's most abundant minerals.

TiO₂
Rutile
Tetragonal

Titanium dioxide in its most stable form — studied for photocatalysis, solar energy, and semiconductor applications.

Features
Built for precision exploration.
🔭

Full 3D Interaction

Rotate, zoom, and pan from any angle. See how atoms pack and bond from perspectives impossible with flat diagrams or physical models.

🌐

Immersive Space Mode

Place your crystal structure in your actual room with Apple Vision Pro's spatial computing. Walk around a room-scale unit cell — literally.

📐

Bond Measurement

Tap any two atoms to measure bond distance and angles in real time. Ground your visual exploration in the actual crystallographic data.

🧱

Supercell Expansion

Expand any structure from 1×1×1 up to 5×5×5 repetitions. Visualize the periodic lattice and understand long-range crystalline order.

⚛️

Element Info Panels

Tap any atom to see element data — symbol, atomic number, radius, and role in the structure. Exploration and reference in one gesture.

🎬

Auto-Spin Animation

Enable continuous rotation for presentations, lectures, and demos. Your crystal structure becomes a living exhibit — no hands required.

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

CrystalRoom serves anyone who thinks spatially about matter.

🎓

Students

Chemistry, materials science, geology, 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. The auto-spin demo mode was built for the classroom.

CIF Import

Bring your own structures.

✦ Institutional Licensing · Contact Us

CIF (Crystallographic Information File) is the universal standard for crystal structure data. CrystalRoom supports CIF Import — load structures from databases like the ICSD, COD, or Cambridge Structural Database, and visualize your own research files in full spatial 3D.

CIF Import is available through institutional licensing for universities, research labs, and educational programs. If you're interested in deploying CrystalRoom with CIF Import for your institution, we'd like to hear from you.

  • Load any valid CIF file from Files, email, or external sources
  • Same full 3D interaction, supercell expansion, and measurement tools
  • Works with structures from ICSD, COD, Cambridge Structural Database, and more
  • Institutional deployment across Apple Vision Pro devices
