A virtual reality visualization tool for three-dimensional biomedical nanostructures

Abstract

Nanoscience is the source of many advanced techniques and applications, the areas of life sciences and materials sciences included. In the field of materials, the latest technological developments have enabled the emergence of innovative materials. There are numerous of nanomaterials in the field of healthcare (nano-, bio- electronic, tools for medical diagnostics, theragnostics, etc.). It also can be noted that the involvement of nanotechnology to problems of medicine and health care is causing a revolution in the biomedical field, including nanomedicine with the emergence of new disciplines such as nanobiomechanics and nano-biology (mechanics of cells, cancer, microbiology, virology, etc.). The paper describes our new approach to creating 3D nanostructures on the SEM frame base. The impact of our research is demonstrated on the 3D digital model of nanostructures which includes 3D coordinates of nanostructures and is ready for the next research simulation process and also for virtual reality (VR) of the research results. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
