Abstract

As part of a project to build a spatiotemporal model of the pancreatic β-cell, we are creating an immersive experience called "World in a Cell" that can be used to integrate and create new educational tools. To do this, we have developed a new visual design language that uses tetrahedral building blocks to express the structural features of biological molecules and organelles in crowded cellular environments. The tetrahedral language enables more efficient animation and user interaction in an immersive environment.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of interest The authors declare no competing interests.<br /> (Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Ltd.
