Protein networks in VR on the Meta Quest 2 #shorts

A short demo showing the possibilities of using the Oculus Quest 2 / Meta Quest 2 for network visualization. In the example, I took my 3D colored point cloud of single-cell RNA-seq data from an earlier demo, fetched a physical protein interaction network with Cytoscape stringApp, mapped the colors on to the nodes, and used a Python script to project the network onto a hemisphere and output a VR-enabled webpage. I show how the resulting network with more than 3,000 edges and 16,000 can be viewed on a Quest 2 VR headset.
