New in syGlass for #3DThursday: a VR surface brush for editing meshes🖌️Here, I’m isolating a component from a @lumafield.bsky.social #microCT scan of a VR headset, painting partitions directly onto the surface and exporting clean .OBJs: v2.6.0

We had a great time sharing 3D data from our pipeline at the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center's Convening of the Cores! Thanks to Sony and syGlass for making our data pop on the Spatial Reality Display. MA researchers, check out LifeCanvas tools at cores near you: bit.ly/3O8SgO0
❤️ A cleared guinea pig heart for #3DThursday! Clearing a heart is HARD — dense muscle, deep antibody labeling, big volume. But to understand coronary networks, you need the whole organ.

Running TotalSegmentator inside #syGlass for #3DThursday! 🔬 Automated segmentation needs strong clinical data for training and benchmarking, plus models that generalize. Mayo Clinic Low Dose CT Grand Challenge + #TotalSegmentator by Jakob Wasserthal are great examples.

Great showcase on how immersive visualization will change everything!
🪰 For #3DThursday, this #microCT scan of an adult #Drosphila (Schoborg et al.) captures the entire fly intact. Using #VR, we can teach anatomy by labeling the 3D fly from a 2D diagram. Spatial context changes everything. #SciComm

🎬: #syGlass, v2.5.0
2025 took us around the world 🌍
From Zurich to Beijing, London, Paris, Montreal, all over the Americas, we explored scientific datasets in VR with the researchers who created them -- and pushed #syGlass to new limits for 3D analysis.
On to 2026. 🔬✨

#syGlass v2.5.0 is out! 🎉
New depth-aware colormaps, expanded file formats (NRRD/MRC/TCF/OME-Zarr v3), better #VR segmentation tools, and upgraded narration workflows — all focused on making #3Ddata easier to explore and share.

Stoked to be back in San Diego for #sfn25 with syGlass and the rest of the team. This week, we're showing off our new AI based axon tracer and the new Sony Spatial Display. Come visit us at booth 813!
Thanks Shamit! Let's catch up sometime!
Exciting News! 😎 syGlass is proud to announce our new collaboration with Sony, featuring their revolutionary glasses-free 3D Spatial Reality Display. Experience the future of visualization at the 2025 Society for Neuroscience conference. Stop by our booth #813 to see it in action!

Magnify’s approach makes nanoscale imaging accessible, and seeing these structures in 3D highlights how physical expansion and digital immersion complement each other: one literally stretches the tissue, the other stretches perspective.

⬜ DAPI (white) — nuclei
🟩 Synaptophysin (green) — synaptic vesicles
🟥 Dil (red) — myelin, neuronal processes, mitochondria
🟪 NHS ester Atto647N (purple) — pan-protein stain
Their hydrogel chemistry preserves proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids while expanding tissue up to ~11× with minimal distortion. It means you can turn an ordinary microscope into a super-resolution one.
Expansion with Magnify for #3DThursday this week!
This mouse brain tissue was imaged using Magnify Biosciences, Inc. expansion microscopy — a simple, low-cost way to achieve nanoscale resolution with a standard confocal.
it was great to present syGlass, Inc at CACIE, part of the largest international educational conference in China, with Kenan Sener, Ed.D.
Very grateful for CAEIE for hosting me for this week in Beijing. ❤️ lnkd.in/g8KQMa8x

From flight biomechanics to echolocation and zoonotic disease, they continue to shape our understanding of biology in ways far beyond Halloween.

The Egyptian Fruit Bat! The result here — a full-body diceCT dataset — shows bone, muscle, and membrane in remarkable detail. It’s a good reminder that while bats are seasonally appropriate, they’re also deeply important research subjects.

Absolutely amazing to hike the Great Wall of China. Truly an engineering marvel and an amazing historic achievement.
I think this represents the next step in #medical #education and citizen science participation. Here's to the near future! 🧪🧬👩🔬
Special thanks to Greg Jones and the CloudXR team!
In a new milestone for syGlass, Inc, we are training a group of French medical students to use syGlass Cloud (powered by NVIDIA #CloudXR) to segment these beautiful datasets, all in VR, anywhere in the world!
