Pixar Could Help With A Coronavirus Vaccine

When you're in lockdown, there's nothing nicer than relaxing on your sofa with a bag of popcorn and watching one of Pixar's amazing films. You often take movies like WALL-E, The Incredibles and Frozen II for granted, but what if 3D animation could be the missing puzzle piece to the coronavirus vaccine? If we just turned our heads to the world of computers, could millions of people be saved?

This seemingly outragous theory could help visualise how COVID-19 get into the human body, and which organ it starts to infect first. It could also see what SARS-CoV2 does to kill people and where the most deaths are. Animation could save millions of lives, and could be used for other vaccines too. But that still leaves one question: how would people get the knowledge?

Well that also goes down to cool tech. VR is starting to become a normal part of people's lives, not just for playing games, but for exploring the world around us. But what if a special headset could be made with x-ray lenses that could see inside people's stomach? They could be rolled out to NHS staff treating patients dying of coronavirus, but at the same time be reporting how the person dies. It should be made so you can see the world around you, but objects looked transparent.

Now on the less serious side of things, these special headsets could be used to find objects, like your phone, that have been lost somewhere in your house, or even to pretend to be a doctor? Hours of fun could be supplied by one simple headset.

But back to the virus. The data created by the doctor or nurse could be sent to a 3D animator, who could help visualise the content. It could then be sent to top scientists working on a vaccine and then rolled out to everyone who needs it. Simple, eh? No. You would run into snags along the way, such as the fact that x-ray machines at this point in time are big, clunky devices that are too heavy to put on your head. They are also quite dangerous to the person who's being x-rayed, because fast lasers are being sent through your body every second.

So know you know the ups and downs of using VR to make a coronavirus vaccine. Whatever you thing, please comment below!
