Project Goal
The purpose of this application is for it to be used as a fun and interactive educational tool. The goal was to design the most effective method to communicate the unique story of the life of a Bacteriophage and its importance in medicine. All of the 3D models were built within Cinema 4D and exported for use in this custom designed and built web application.
