We have recently ported the Java-based Jmol applet to pure JavaScript, enabling full Jmol functionality on tablets and other devices that do nothave Java capabilities. The implementation, JSmol (JSmol.sourceforge.net), reproduces all of the functionality of Jmol/Java, but with no Java. In this presentation we will compare performance of Jmol and JSmol on a variety of platforms, highlight their similarities and differences, and take a look at the future of web-based molecular visualizationin science, education, and publishing.
