Nobel Week has just begun and this year’s Nobel Laureates are headed to Stockholm and Oslo to take part in the festivities. The week is filled with press conferences and Nobel Lectures from the new Laureates with the Nobel Prize Award Ceremony taking place on December 10. But if you haven’t scored a ticket to the prestigious awards event you can still learn a Nobel-worthy lesson with The Circadian Rhythm on Viveport.
<\/div> <p>Developed by <a href="http:\/\/onereality.se\/">\"}';Discover the First VR Experience for the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with the Launch of The Circadian Rhythm on Viveport
The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2017 was awarded to Jeffrey C. Hall, Michael Rosbash and Michael W. Young, for their discoveries of molecular mechanisms controlling the circadian rhythm. According to the Nobel Prize Committee’s press release, “Their discoveries explain how plants, animals, and humans adapt their biological rhythm so that it is synchronized with the Earth’s revolutions.” By isolating a gene that controls the normal daily biological rhythm in fruit flies, the three American Laureates were able to discern that our inner “clock regulates critical functions such as behavior, hormone levels, sleep, body temperature and metabolism.” This truly unique VR experience showcases these contributions of the Nobel Laureates in an interesting and easy to understand way.
This initiative with Nobel Media is the latest in HTC VIVE’s effort to expand the world’s understanding of the impact VR can have in educating and engaging the public on the world around us. Vive is furthering this goal with initiatives such as VR for Impact and VIVE Arts.
The Circadian Rhythm can now be downloaded for free on Viveport.
