Understanding macromolecular structures is essential for biology education. Augmented reality (AR) applications have shown promise in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, but are not widely used for protein visualization. While there are some tools for AR protein visualization, none of them are accessible to the layperson who possesses neither specialized AR hardware nor the technical skill to comfortably navigate three‐dimensional (3D) rendering and file conversions. Here, we describe Palantir, an open source mobile Android application easily installable on compatible devices from the Google Play Store. Palantir does not require specialized hardware, printed image, manual 3D rendering, or file format conversion. Palantir makes AR macromolecular visualization accessible to anyone with a compatible mobile device, and we hope it finds widespread application in STEM education.

使用增强现实进行大分子可视化的可访问的开源移动应用程序

了解大分子结构对于生物学教育至关重要。增强现实 (AR) 应用已在科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 教育中显示出前景，但并未广泛用于蛋白质可视化。虽然有一些用于 AR 蛋白质可视化的工具，但对于既没有专门的 AR 硬件也没有技术技能来舒适地导航三维 (3D) 渲染和文件转换的外行来说，它们都没有。在这里，我们将介绍 Palantir，这是一款开源移动 Android 应用程序，可轻松安装在 Google Play 商店中的兼容设备上。Palantir 不需要专门的硬件、打印图像、手动 3D 渲染或文件格式转换。Palantir 使任何拥有兼容移动设备的人都可以访问 AR 大分子可视化，
