Constructing a virtual Synchrotron X-ray beamline

Constructing a virtual Synchrotron X-ray beamline

Researchers from InfraVis and MAX IV are developing virtual environments from CAD drawings for education, training, and virtual experiments. Using Blender and Unreal Engine 5, the team optimizes complex geometries for immersive visualization of beamlines like ForMAX at MAX IV. Future work focuses on topology optimization for seamless VR experiences.

InfraVis identified as key to Unlocking Data Potential at facilities like MAX IV and ESS

The recent Swedish Research Council report, Bottlenecks that Delay the Benefits of Large-Scale Research Infrastructure, highlights data management, analysis, and visualization as major challenges for researchers. We are honored that InfraVis has been recognized as a key infrastructure in unlocking data potential at facilities like MAX IV and ESS. We look forward to continuing this important work alongside our users.

Joakim Bohlin, InfraVis Application Expert, developed interactive tools for visualizing DNA, RNA, and protein structures. His work includes oxView for DNA nanotechnology, oxJenga for VR simulations of DNA origami, and Vrotein, a web app for protein visualization using VR/AR. These tools were showcased at MAX IV Users’ Meeting 2025.

Inspecting tomographic datasets and Protein Data Base files in Augmented Reality – the perfect tool for an immersive poster session

Inspecting tomographic datasets and Protein Data Base files in Augmented Reality – the perfect tool for an immersive poster session

The InfraVis node at Lund University has developed an application and workflow to visualize tomographic datasets in the immersive CAVE system at the Virtual Reality laboratory at LTH – Faculty of Engineering. The workflow was originally made for the LINXS hackathon SynchroMage: 3D Tomography and Visualisation for Earth’s Hidden Treasures – Environment and Climate theme, but after a positive evaluation from participants, also described in the following LINXS article, we have kept the development going.
