About this game
Curated library
The project brings together 36 tomography scans from scientific collections and archives. The datasets are carefully prepared and presented in VR for direct exploration, without the need for complex specialist tools. Sources include Human Organ Atlas, Battery Imaging Library, Astromaterials 3D, Brain Image Library, and 3D Cipher.
Detailed scans
The internal structure of each object was captured as billions of voxels using advanced imaging equipment, including synchrotrons. Larger scans contain 96 times the detail of a routine hospital CT scan. Your computer needs 32 GB of memory to view them in full.
Easy exploration
The space around you stays clear and you can peel away tissues and materials simply by walking through them, as shown in the trailer. You can also move, rotate, and resize the object while holding the trigger buttons.
X-ray vision simulator
With every frame the app sends millions of rays through the volume and accumulates their signals in real time. Push the thumbsticks up or down to adjust transparency and reveal deeper structures inside the object.
Adaptive resolution
The app maintains stable performance as scene complexity changes. It can run smoothly even at high refresh rates (including 144 Hz) on capable hardware. Not sure how your PC will do? Try the free demo.
Minimal image processing
What you see is the raw scan data: 16-bit grayscale voxels with minor brightness adjustments and the background removed. JPEG 2000 encoder reduces storage requirements and keeps any potential artifacts imperceptible.
Controls
Hold trigger buttons: move, rotate, and scale the object
Thumbsticks up/down: change object transparency
Trackpads: scale the object (Valve Index controllers only)
Hold B / Y: clear more space around you when inside the object
Hold A / X: show the scan library
Grip / squeeze input: unused

Absolute Eye Candy
The first human eye has been added to the collection.You can now examine the intricate structures of this complex organ with your very own eyes:Those with a keen eye for detail will notice the blind spot, the optic nerve, abnormal drops along the edge of the retina, and many other features.You'll find the new scan at the end of the collection. Zoom in and play with transparency to see more than meets the eye.Other changes:Fixed a compatibility issue affecting some Windows 10 systems, thanks to a detailed bug report from DezzTech.Switched the demo to shared depots. This keeps the demo and full version in the same directory and reduces the download size when purchasing the app.Added command-line performance options. This app is a real-time ray tracer. If you ask it to finish each frame in 2 milliseconds, it will try to do so. This could be useful for troubleshooting issues with Wi-Fi streaming or hardware performance. See pinned note in the discussions for details. Thank you, and keep an eye out for more updates.Read full article on Community Announcements (Doormat)AnnouncementsOfficial
