3D Biology Game: An Idea Worth Funding

 :: Posted by American Biotechnologist on 12-06-2012

This past summer a group of artists and indie game developers in the Seattle area attempted to develop a super-cool video game that allowed player to explore the inside of a cell as if they were actually inside the 3D structure. Unfortunately, the team was unsuccessful in meeting its funding goal, however, they left a strong impresson on me and I believe that they have a product which can seriously help revitalize the biology classroom.

Checkut the video from Kinect Biology and give us your feedback. Do you think that there idea is worth funding?
