Rat Lab is an interactive 3D model framework for the Unity Engine. Its features include dynamic hiding of select objects at the user's discretion, an optional description displayed when objects are selected, and configurable movement keys. Selectable objects can be arranged in a hierarchical manner, where actions such as selection or hiding of higher objects (such as organ systems) also selects or hides lower objects (such as individual organs).

Rat Lab comes with three premade anatomical models (rat, frog, shark) that may be explored. The demo version can be downloaded or played in-browser to see what programs made with the framework are like. 

Currently only the demos are available, as the manual is still being written. Once the instructional content is finished the source code will be released. Rat Lab does not require any knowledge of code, and only a very basic knowledge of the Unity engine. Imported assets are not supported, only models created within Unity are expected to work correctly.

The UI is adaptable, but very tall or very wide aspect ratios are not supported and may not function correctly.  Web browser version may not be supported by all web browsers.
