Virtual Reality Application for
MultiChannel Confocal Microscope Image-Stacks
(Compatible with Oculus Quest and Rift, HTC Vive, Microsoft Mixed-Reality)
Please review the standard non-profit software license, and then fill out the form to acknowledge agreement with the license. You will then be transfer directly to the download page.
ExMicroVR is a tool for viewing and manipulating multichannel confocal microscope image-stacks in immersive Virtual Reality. It was developed in a collaboration between Immersive Science, Benaroya Research Institute, and Carnegie Mellon University. The tool allows researchers to explore details of cell structure in images. Use ImageJ (free from NIH) to convert confocal microscope image stacks into 3D volumetric object files (NIfTI ) that you can then view in VR.
This software is licensed for free to non-profit applications.
Notes:
- This application is not compatible with mobile phone based VR systems because of the compute power needed to render high fidelity volumetric images within a fully immersive 6DOF experience.
- Only compatible with Windows OS, because currently this is the only compute platform supporting the VR hardware systems
