3D Modeling for simulated ventricular surgery
Brain surgery requires extreme precision, which makes realistic training essential. This project was created to improve practice conditions for a procedure where a catheter is inserted into the brain’s ventricles to relieve fluid buildup. The training setup uses a 3D‑printed skull and a Jello‑based artificial brain that mimics real tissue. InfraVis contributed by redesigning and producing key 3D‑printed components, developing scaffolds to hold the brain model securely, and creating lightweight motion‑capture attachments for tracking skull and catheter movements. InfraVis also supported the design of a replaceable membrane that simulates the moment of puncturing ventricle tissue, enabling more accurate and repeatable training.

Interactive tools for visualization of DNA, RNA, and protein structures
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
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 The workflow was originally made for the LINXS hackathon SynchroMage: 3D Tomography and Visualisation for Earth’s Hidden Treasures – Environment and Climate theme, but after a positive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.
