Immersive Microscopy
ZEISS and arivis are pioneering the use of Oculus Rift's advanced display technology
One of the fascinating trends is the use of virtual reality to visualize 3D images. The powerful software algorithms along with the high resolution power of ZEISS microscopes now enable microscopists to really immerse into their dataset. Navigating by simply moving the head all hidden parts of the sample can be observed, discussed or even measured and analyzed.

At Control 2016 in Stuttgart, arivis and ZEISS are showcasing immersive microscopy for materials samples. As an example a complex component, manufactured by 3D printing using laser sinter technology, is imaged using high resolution X-ray tomography. The virtual reality visualization, obtained by the powerful arivis algorithms is displayed on Oculus Rift VR glasses. Combining these pioneering technologies, users can virtually fly through the sample and inspect the dimensional accuracy as well as microstructural composition.
