Description: syGlass software allows you to view your data in virtual reality in its actual 3D or 4D (over time) form. We specialize in presenting the very large data sets generated by modern imaging techniques, so standard image volumes are a snap. Use our tools to quantify your data with enhanced precision, or import results for rapid correction in VR. Our mission is to help scientists explore their data more creatively and understand and communicate their findings more efficiently.

Review: While many of the elements that make ‘syGlass View’ so good have been seen before in VR it is nice to see them all here in one VR app and for free. It is an app that allows for the viewing and manipulation of 3D and 4D scientific data. Things like body scans and multidimensional charts. It is simple little tools like this that will keep VR going and bring it into the realm of more people, especially those in the medical and scientific markets. It’s hard to hate on anything that is free, but to someone, this app will be pure gold and I applaud the developer for making it free despite them putting their time and effort into it.
