News: XR Life Science demo Winter collection of the 2025 Data Gallery
XR Life Science demo their 'Winter Collection' of the 2025 Data gallery at the 1st Workshop on Scientific Illustration at the University of Glasgow ARC-XR facility.
XR Life Science selected as part of the 2024 Converge Challenge.
XR Life Science creates educational VR applications for all Life Science subjects. We also provide internal 3D and XR-related services to colleagues within the University of Glasgow. The VR app side of the business has recently won through to the first round of the KickStart Converge Challenge. This will help to launch the VR offering as a spin-out company.
Bringing your science to life
3D animations, VR apps, interactive games, everything XR!
XR Life Science creates stunning VR apps and animations from real data collected by researchers.
Using original data as the basis for our models, we can ensure the quality and scientific accuracy of our visualisations and interactive applications.
We offer standalone XR models and applications but can also create custom content tailored to your specific data and needs.
Designed for Higher Education
Our Apps are designed by professional educators with specialist knowledge in Life Sciences. We focus on 'Threshold Concepts', those pivotal elements that the learner must fully understand before further learning can proceed.
Cell: The Genesis
Cell: The Genesis is our first fully immersive VR (educational) escape room game. You can learn about the process of glycolysis whilst trying to find, and save, the mysterious Professor Flippenblend.
Funded by The Physiological Society and in association with STEM Scotland.
Available for download at Itch.io
VR Data Gallery
Explore our Gallery of Modern Data!
Imagine a fully immersive VR gallery filled with biological specimens for you to explore. Pick up a single cell, put your head inside a renal glomerulus, walk down the middle of a femur... and much more!
You can view our sketchfab gallery here.
MyoSITE: Anxiety
MyoSITE is an interactive mixed-reality app exploring heart physiology.
Users can engage with a microscopy-based cardiac cell model, place molecules in receptors, and see how they influence heart function—all while learning about cardiovascular health and anxiety management.
The app also features a guided exercise to support anxiety regulation.
MitoMover
Mitochondrial fission and fusion VR game
This short game/experience teaches the player about mitochondrial biology. You will be transported inside a cell and must create a path to the nucleus using mitochondrial fission and fusion. The application was developed by (MSc student) Rachel Lee in collaboration with XR Life Science. A full walkthrough can be found here
