Explore VR Technology!
Join us for an immersive journey into the groundbreaking Human Reference Atlas (HRA) project. Dr. Andreas Bueckle will unveil the HRA Organ Gallery, a pioneering virtual reality (VR) application designed to navigate the complexities of the atlas in an immersive environment. Discover how VR technology transcends traditional 2D interfaces, allowing users to interact with anatomical structures at their true scale and spatial context. Dr. Bueckle will showcase prototype visualizations of cell type distributions and 3D protein structures, providing invaluable insights into human biology.
Presenter Bio
Dr. Andreas Bueckle is the Research Lead in the Cyberinfrastructure for Network Science Center at the Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering at Indiana University Bloomington (and affiliated with the Luddy Data Science Program). His research interest is interactive information visualization in virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and other immersive techniques. Born and raised in Germany, he holds a B.A. in Media Studies from Eberhard Karls University in Tuebingen, an M.A. in Communications from Berlin University of the Arts, and a Ph.D. in Information Science from Indiana University.
From early on, he developed a deep interest in digital artifacts, most notably videography and photography. After working as a video journalist and cameraman on projects in Germany, France, India, and the U.S., he decided to switch to a more technical education and started to pursue and finish his Ph.D. in Information Science, working with Katy Börner at Indiana University Bloomington.
