VMD is the visualization component of MDScope which is an interactive environment for molecular modelling and dynamics. As part of that project we are experimenting with new modes of human-computer interaction. Most programs use the mouse and menu user interface components, or even a dial box (which, by the way, VMD does not currently support - anyone want to give us one?) but these do not fully support the full range of control needed for modelling. We envision a system where a ligand can be picked up and inserted directly into an active site, or where one can point to a molecule and say ``which helix is that?''
