It’s more of an engineering accomplishment. I could see this being useful for exploratory data analysis of large protein (mesoscale) complexes. A surprising amount of science starts with a grad student staring at a really complex plot for a really long time, then suddenly going “oh shit thats weird”. That kind of realization is terribly difficult if your visualization tools are fighting you the whole time.
