BACK TO CREATIVE WORKS
Heartbeats of our Genome is a 360 degree 3D, stereoscopic computer-generated animation designed for viewing in an immersive headset such as Google cardboard. It demonstrates the fundamental process of gene transcription and shows how, despite each of our cells containing the same DNA, only a subset of this is available at any one time. It is narrative-driven and was created using authentic scientific data.
