Ambient occlusion lighting

Morphing

Deformed wing virus, honey bee pathogen, colony collapse disorder.

Morph full virus capsid

Show residues fit in cryoEM density

Virtual reality 360 degree images and movies

Immersive view from inside deformed wing virus 5-fold symmetry axis pore. 360 degree stereoscopic molecular scene can be viewed using a cellphone and a virtual reality headset.
