A 3D experience in the CAVE2 TM facility to demonstrate the structure and function of parts of the cell membrane within the context of the organ process. This simulation demonstrates the absorption of two common sugar molecules across the human digestive system. The experience takes the user from the macro scale of the small intestine through the micro villi of the duodenum and jejunum and down to the nano scale of the fructose and glucose molecules, demonstrating how they move through cells using a system of transporters. Used as a teaching resource in LFS202 Systemic Physiology II and engagement resource in open days and public tours of the CAVE2TM facility.
