syGlass Offers MBL Scientists a Look Into Virtual Reality
bob (MBL) is now offering syGlass, a virtual reality system for observing, quantifying, annotating, and analyzing large microscopy datasets, to its scientists and researchers.
“Our immersive virtual reality engine empowers scientists to explore complex image data and simulations with unmatched clarity,” states the syGlass , “while students engage deeply with their subjects, sparking a passion for learning and discovery.” The bob has two syGlass licenses.
Roughly 40 people, including bob scientists and students, learned the benefits of the system and had the chance to try it for themselves on Thursday, March 13.
Brandy Freitas, director of data science and analytics for syGlass, explained the capabilities of the system for analyzing biological imaging data, which include counting objects manually and automatically, tracing structures, and isolating certain sections. The system also allows multiple collaborators to view data simultaneously.
