Since 2016, the Marquette Visualization Lab has been utilizing a dataset of 3 and 7 Tesla MRI scans from the Structural Informatics Group at University of Washington to visualize the structures of the brain in their Cave, utilizing the Unity game engine and 10 stereoscopic 3D projectors. Most MRI scans are presented as a volumetric rendering, but this dataset is unique because it was fully labelled and parcellated, allowing lab users to not only view the structures of the brain, but also virtually dissect it in a large scale, collaborative virtual reality environment. This year, in the interest of making the learning experience more mobile and accessible, the visualization was ported to the Oculus Quest. In first impressions, the Quest may seem unsuitable to visualizing high-complexity medical data due to its limitations in processing powered compared to a multi-node Cave, but through careful optimization and rendering techniques, the data set was able to be rendered on the mobile device while maintaining its high degree of interactivity. Specifically, although the polygon count is far over the recommended limit for the device, the target frame rate was still achievable by using low-poly mesh colliders, a minimal amount of d","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/chrislarkee","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/chrislarkee/VR-Neuroanatomy/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
