Abstract: Single-cell assays have transformed our ability to model heterogeneity within cell populations and tissues. Virtual reality has recently emerged as a powerful technology to dynamically explore complex data. However, expensive hardware or advanced data preprocessing skills are required to adapt such technology to single-cell data. To address current shortcomings, we built singlecellVR, a user-friendly website for visualizing single- cell data, designed for cheap and easily available virtual reality hardware (e.g., Google Cardboard, ~$8). We provide a companion package, scvr to streamline data conversion from the most widely-adopted single-cell analysis tools and a database of pre-analyzed datasets to which users can contribute.
