4D Theater “Ride the Rails” Experience
Jul 11, 2017A few selected segments from an 8-minute animation produced specially for client’s trade show “4D Multisensory” installation.
The 3D interactive ride was featured at the ATS International Conference, the home of pulmonary, critical care and sleep professionals. Attendees experienced a stereoscopic, 3D monorail-style journey through two “branded” cities, learning more about two different patient therapies for COPD.
The XD Theater Experience is a self-contained, motion-simulated, stereoscopic 3D interactive ride often implemented for high-end, media-based trade show attractions.

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.

Protecting against concussions
Dec 28, 2017A couple of excerpts from a video production that explores a new advancement in preventing brain injury; specifically, the occurrence of brain injury caused by a concussive blow to the head.
The Q-Collar, developed by Q30 Innovations, assists the body’s own physiology, creating a “bubble-wrap” effect for the brain.
One key visual component of this project involved working closely with the client to execute their concept of slosh mitigation.

Fungal infection in the blood
Jul 28, 2018A breach in the skin (from a catheter) has led to an invasion of the bloodstream and profuse growth of the fungus.
Animation created for a closer look at Candida auris — the first identified multidrug-resistant fungus. Injury to cutaneous barriers by catheters allows yeast and fungi to invade deeper structures and enter the bloodstream.
We are honored and thrilled to have this artwork featured on the cover of this year’s Medical Illustration Sourcebook (30th ed).

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.
