This project was designed and developed as an interactive VR application for public engagement in collaboration with the Wellcome Centre for Integrative Parasitology. The developed application allows the user to explore the blood flow, learn about the parasite's mechanism of infection and it's cellular anatomy. The scope of this application is to shed light on the hidden life of these microscopic lifeforms and allow the user to learn about them in a fun and engaging way.

Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) affect millions worldwide, causing death and disability. Currently, there is still need for funding for drug deployment programmes as well as for vaccine R&D. This need is only going to grow, making it necessary for the general public, private and public investors, governments and charities to be aware of parasites and tropical diseases. Using interactive means of conveying information has been shown to be highly effective in facilitating learning and public engagement.
