| Popis | Through the integration of science, art, and technology, we present Multimedia Resolution Data Artistic Educational Tool (MRDAET), an interactive installation designed to support the visualisation and understanding of molecular reactions. The installation focuses on ATP synthesis and the electron transport chain—core biochemical processes that are often difficult to grasp due to their complexity and abstract nature. Inspired by David Goodsell’s fusion of scientific accuracy and artistic expression, MRDAET employs physical 3D models derived from structural data in the Protein Data Bank, augmented with illustrations and projection mapping. The installation encourages users to explore molecular processes through layered interactivity that combines tangible models with animated visual overlays. MRDAET was evaluated at an art and technology event, where user feedback indicated that the installation was both enjoyable and perceived as helpful in education. Participants reported improved understanding of the presented biochemical concepts and expressed interest in increased interactivity, particularly through Mixed Reality integration connecting physical models and dynamic animations. While individual and combined visual modalities have been shown to be effective in science education, immersive interactive installations of this type remain underexplored in this context. This paper presents MRDAET as the third iteration following prior designs, offering a science-driven educational approach that, as indicated by participant responses, warrants further study and application to additional scientific areas. |
