Abstract

This is the first report of a prototype that allows for real-time interaction with high-resolution cellular modules using GLASS^© technology. The prototype was developed* using zStack data sets which allow for real-time interaction of low polygon and direct surface models exported from primary source imaging. This paper also discusses potential educational and clinical applications of a wearable, interactive, user-centric, augmented reality visualization of cellular structures. * Prototype was developed using IMARIS^© , ImageJ^© , MAYA^® , 3DCOAT^© , UNITY^© , ZBrush^© , OcculusRift^® , LeapMotion^© , and output for multiplatform function with Google GLASS^© technology as its viewing modality.
