Here is a brief guide to the most common features of Nanome and how to use them with the Meta Quest 3 controls.
Mixed Reality
The Mixed Reality mode in Nanome allows you to combine the real world with the virtual world. Instead of just seeing a fully virtual environment, Mixed Reality mode allows you to see the VR content (molecules and visualizations) in combination with the physical space.
On the Nanome home screen, you can turn Mixed Reality mode on and off in the top left corner.
