To begin the animation, press Start. The slider bars at the bottom can be used to rotate the animation in any of the three principal directions at any time. Alternatively, the animation can be rotated directly using the mouse. The Reset view button restores the animation to the original viewpoint.
The simulation uses the porcine ventricular structure digitized at the University of Auckland Bioengineering Institute.
