Experience Virtual Inflammation in the Vive
Jan 02, 2018VR experience examining the pathogenesis and inflammatory cycle of psoriatic arthritis.
What does virtual reality provide that a linear video cannot? For this MOA, we immerse the viewer into the inflammatory cycle of psoriatic arthritis and reiterate the story in a non-linear fashion — allowing users the ability to roam around and explore as they wish.

Immunotherapy in lung cancer
Feb 15, 2018Activated T cells of the immune system targeting and destroying tumor cells. Once lysis occurs, the T cell moves to another cancer cell and repeats the process.
Sequence created for program that explores the impact of immunotherapies for lung cancer.

Burden of Genius excerpts
Mar 29, 2018One of a few sequences we produced for the film “Burden of Genius.”
This documentary explores the life of Dr. Thomas Starzl, a man many call the greatest surgeon of the 20th century and “the father of modern transplantation.”
In 1967, Dr. Starzl stunned the world with the first successful liver transplantation.

AnatomyAR+ kid workout with augmented reality
Sep 17, 2018AnatomyAR+ augmented reality app for #MERGECube, available on MERGE Miniverse.
We made this video for our augmented reality app; featuring the most thoughtful (yet tough!) critics we could find. We are currently working on some updates and enhancements.

Let the phlegm fly!
Jul 08, 2018Micro-landscape view of respiratory cells, an accumulating layer of mucus, and Bordetella pertussis bacteria releasing toxins.
A coughing event is occurring here, displacing mucus, the bacteria, and debris.
Also known as whooping cough, pertussis is a highly contagious airborne disease that spreads simply through the coughs and sneezes of an infected person.

11-foot-tall interactive beating heart installation
Jul 30, 2019Large-scale, interactive installation featuring a beating heart and flow simulation of the body’s circulatory system.
The heartbeat and blood flow respond interactively to visitors in the facility: as more people enter the University Center, the heart rate elevates; as they leave, the heartbeat lowers.
Created in the visual style of an MRI, the 11-foot-tall, 8-foot-wide installation serves as a living welcome to visitors of the Texas Tech Health Sciences Center.
This animation features a few of the sequences we produced for the final piece, including the particle simulations of blood pressure and flow.
