XR Life Science builds virtual reality, mixed reality and interactive applications that turn the invisible processes of life — cellular, molecular, physiological — into experiences you can inhabit.
What we do
Every application is grounded in real research data and built around threshold concepts — the pivotal ideas that, once understood, unlock a student's ability to progress in the life sciences.
Fully immersive environments built around the biological processes students must master — from cardiac function to mitochondrial dynamics.
Microscopy-based cellular models overlaid on the physical world — built for XR headsets and collaborative settings, adaptable to flat screen and mobile where needed.
Scientific animations derived from electron microscopy and molecular data — faithful to the biology at every scale.
Custom XR content built around your research dataset or curriculum need — scoped and delivered end-to-end.
Applications
Our titles target specific conceptual barriers identified in life science curricula — the ideas students most often struggle with.
Navigate glycolysis from inside a cell. A VR escape room funded by The Physiological Society and STEM Scotland.
Learn more
Walk through an immersive gallery of biological specimens — from organelle to organ, rendered from real research datasets.
Learn more
Cardiac physiology through the lens of anxiety — confocal microscopy-based cell models overlaid on your environment.
Learn more
Manipulate mitochondrial fission and fusion in real time — spatial intuition for organelle dynamics.

Partnership
XR Life Science is based at the University of Glasgow. We support researchers and educators across the life sciences — from bespoke visualisations to full interactive applications deployed at scale.
