In what the company calls the "3D Cave," the images of the heart are projected on three walls. The user is able to walk-through the 3D experience.

It looks like a human heart. It feels like a human heart. It's "the first full-size 3D bioprinted human heart model," and it could change the way surgeons practice and prepare for patients.

Video summary This short film uses 3D CGI images to show the movement of blood through the chambers of the heart and the pacemaker cells. Following the initial sequences, the video focuses on the ...
