ISTE Speaker Series event: "Monolith: Rapid Molecular Visualization for Second Life" with Erich Bremer (SL: Erich Bremer), Associate Director for the Department of Medical Informatics, School of Medicine, Stony Brook University.

Erich has developed a rapid molecular visualization system for Second Life called "Monolith". Monolith has the ability to pull structural information directly from the protein data bank and rez them as interactive models In-world without the need for preprocessing any of the data files or other manual uploading of any data into Second Life. Rezzed structures can be interactively colored or highlighted based on atom type, residue name, residue number, or proximal distance. Other visual parameters can be altered as well. The framework for Monolith will serve as a platform for other projects planned in Second Life. For more information about htis project, visit: http://secondlife.som.stonybrook.edu/monolith. This presentation that will begin on ISTE Island and continue on Stony Brook University land (for the demonstration). Voice will be used. Please be sure that you have a working voice setup [ideally including a headset microphone] prior to the event!
