Virtual Reality Neuron Tracer

Virtual Reality Neuron Tracer is an application that allows users to explore datasets mapping the neurons in a cell, and trace certain parts of it to focus on. While there isn’t much content provided by the application initially, with only a couple sample datasets available to test out, there is support for users to upload their own datasets, making this far more useful for researchers or users who want to explore specific sets of data.

The Stanford Ocean Acidification Experience

The Stanford Ocean Acidification Experience is an application that teaches users about pollution and its effect on the ocean through a short, curated experience. Users see visual representations of molecules, and are transported to various locations to see their effects on the ocean. There are a few moments in which users are prompted to move around and touch various things, but for the most part, it is a relatively relaxed educational experience.
