CENTRIOLE AR MOBILE APPLICATIOn

Purpose

On behalf of the Paul W. And E. Carol Schafer Foundation For Centriolar Research, the overarching purpose of the Foundations research is to disseminate the theory regarding the role centrioles play in cancer tumor formation. While there are many options for creating sophisticated three-dimensional models of centriole assembly in stationary technology, the goal of this project was to develop an easily deployed augmented reality (AR) product demonstrating spatially, microtubule assembly. This AR software was designed to be highly portable and engaging – appropriate for the “elevator speech” concerning centriole assembly. 

Description

The UCSIM | Center for Simulations & Virtual Environments Research developed a deployable, portable AR Centriole Assembly augmented reality mobile application that can be used as a demonstrable product. Included in the total deliverables are the 2D trigger images of the centriole microtubule to be augmented, and an augmented reality mobile application for accessing the augmented imaging (Android and iOS) and computer graphic modeling necessary to support the final product.
