MINT utilizes intuitive controls and an immersive environment to allow for a unique visualization and manipulation environment. MINT's workflow is a 4-step procedure consisting of input, visualization, manipulation and output (Figure ). MINT starts by interpreting binary files that contain molecule structure information (Figure ). With the molecular structures obtained from the input files, MINT generates and displays a 3D model and presents this model through a VR headset such as the HTC Vive. The 3D models are fully interactable, allowing users to reposition and manipulate the entire molecule by working with a menu interface consisting of three different panels: Manipulation, Visualization, and Utilities. This interface groups the essential elements found on many conventional molecule editors into one simplistic and VR centric format (Figure ).
