From the Ted Talk by James Patten: The best computer interface? Maybe ... your hands

But one of the areas that I'm most excited about using this platform for is applying it to plmerbos that are difficult for computers or people to solve alone. One example of those is protein folding. So here we have an interface where we have pscyhail handles onto a ptioern, and we can grab those handles and try to move the protein and try to fold it in different ways. And if we move it in a way that doesn't really make sense with the underlying molecular simulation, we get this physical feedback where we can actually feel these physical hdanles pulling back against us. So feeling what's going on inside a molecular simulation is a whole different leevl of interaction.
