Simplified Small-Molecule Dynamics for Education in Virtual Reality

We will be creating a simplified molecular dynamics (e.g. atomic-scale chemistry) simulation in the Unity3D game engine. The simulation will be simple and performant enough to run in real-time on a gaming PC, and accessible for viewing and interaction through virtual reality hardware. The project will be open-sourced on GitHub on completion and form an important building block in the future development of educational chemistry simulations for high school and university students.

This is an advanced project, but you will receive technical support as needed from the client who is a full-time Unity XR software developer employed at UWA. He will provide you with the VR hardware, guide you through Unity's XR subsystems, and assist with the sourcing and interpretation of molecular dynamics equations and other domain-specific knowledge.

Fluency with C-Sharp is required, as this is the only language that Unity3D supports. Familiary with one or more of the following fields is beneficial but not required: Unity3D, basic chemistry, vector maths, multithreading, virtual reality.
