I used ChimeraX to visualize virus capsid data from the Protein DataBank (PDB), and export .glb files
Then, I used react-three-fiber to render 3d components, @react-three/cannon to simulate physics, and gltfjsx to turn .glb files into .jsx React components.
Spiroplasma SPV4
Human Papillomavirus (HPV)
Adenovirus
Chicken Pox (Varicella Zoster)
Faustovirus
HIV
