Development of Virtual Reality Based

Scientific Research Tools

 

New Product Announcement – ConfocalPro-LG: 3D Medical Imaging on the LookGlassFactory “holographic” display.

Immersive Science develops 3D image visualization tools for virtual reality and holographic display systems. These software tools accelerate the understanding of complex datasets, like image-stacks and DICOM datasets. We make it fast and simple to engage with your data, to see and interact with it, in three dimensions. We bring the full power of the human binocular visual perception system to bear on your research questions.

About

Immersive Science was started by Tom Skillman to build and distribute custom XR (VR&AR) applications for the scientific research community. ImmSci builds on the immersive VR experiences that he built with immune system researchers at Benaroya  Research Institute. Working with those scientists he developed VR applications for confocal microscopy and flow cytometry that enabled scientists to be immerse in their data. The ability to both see and interact with their data (grabbing, scaling, adjusting,  sharing) significantly accelerates understanding.

Examples of ImmSci tools have been published in The Journal of Molecular Biology, and described in Nature Toolbox and GeekWire. (See News & Publications)

Experiences

Cellular Structure Microscopy

ConfocalVR

DOWNLOAD ConfocalVR V2.0

View confocal microscope image-stacks in fully immersive virtual reality. Compatible with HTC Vive, Oculus RIft, and Microsoft Mixed Reality.  Developed for researchers to allow you to see details of cell structure in your images that you have never seen or appreciated before. Use ImageJ (free from NIH) to convert confocal microscope image stacks into 3D volumetric object files (NIfTI ) that you can then view in ConfocalVR.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Flow Cy​tometry Data Immersion

FCS-VR

View multichannel flow cytometry data as 3D point cloud plots allowing you to significantly increase your understanding of data. View measured parameters in VR quickly and interactively, instantaneously switching which parameters are plotted on which axis. Includes 3D gating and outputs of per-gate parameters. Interpret your data over 3x faster.

  • Preprocess FCS files with FlowJo, Diva, or equivalent, then output a “csv” data file for immersive viewing in FCS-VR.
  • Contact us for software licensing details​.

Protein Structure Analysis

AltPDB Open

Connect with up to 12 collaborators  in-VR-space to look at and discuss molecular structure of proteins that you can download from the Protein Databank (PDB)

  • Try it out for free as an AltSpace Activity here
ChimeraX Protein Analytics

ChimeraX from UCSF is a great VR tool for the display an analysis of protein structures. It downloads  geometry data from the Protein Data Bank (PDB) and displays in VR.  You can view an ion-channel a meter tall in front of you. It has a large number of visualization and protein manipulation tools. It is included here on ImmSci.com as its protein capabilities complement the cell, tissue, and organ immersion capabilities of ConfocalVR.
