The Metaverse/VIVEverse/Omniverse is fast approaching. Regardless of whatever virtual landscape you settle on, there is no doubt that XR technologies will play a role. Therefore, I have been working on the creation of a variety of VR apps for teaching and public engagement. These apps rely on the use of authentic 3D models created from real data. Many of these models can be viewed on my Sketchfab site. Recent VR apps include a data gallery, a spinal cord tour and a virtual cardiac myocyte that is 10meters long! We even made a cell physiology educational VR escape room game.
