The AlloSphere Offers an Interactive Experience of Nano-sized Worlds
September 6, 2011

What would it be like to dive into the veins and arteries of the human body or weave through the layers of the brain? With the AlloSphere, a 33-foot diameter sphere built inside of a three-story echo-free cube, these feats are now possible.

The AlloSphere is one of the largest immersive scientific instruments in the world. It takes scientific data that is too small to see and hear and visually and sonically magnifies it to a human scale so researchers can better analyze the data and find new patterns. Over twenty researchers can stand in the center of the sphere and be collectively immersed in multi-dimensional information.

New research opportunities emerge from instrument that immerses researchers in multi-dimensional information, NSF reported. More Details.
