why play, exploration and going down the wrong route is issential to learning

An amazing 3d protein molecule viewer written in html 5. Just jas dropping. 

the length scale is missing. My intention is to show here an image, that is about 1.024 micro-meter, 512 micro-meter, 256 micro-meter.

very similar to virtual body and hap.  A project trying to build a virtual physiome.
