Summary

The author shares an open-source project called Cell Architecture Studio, an interactive 3D cell structure visualization platform built with React and Three.js, aimed at using AI technology to assist biology education.

Recently, I've received many reminders from friends abroad via email and DMs, including biology teachers and a guy from Turkey, urging me to continue the project. I'm greatly encouraged, but I've been busy with work lately, so I'll first make a demo page to see how it goes. However, I promise to keep iterating on this project. I hope AI technology can truly shine in the field of education and help children. I also hope any interested partners can contribute your ideas, or teachers are welcome to share your needs.

Recently, I’ve received many emails and private messages from friends abroad urging me to continue—including a biology teacher and a Turkish friend. I’m truly encouraged, but I’ve been busy with work lately. For now, here’s a demo page, but I promise to keep iterating on this project.

I hope AI technology can genuinely shine in the education field and help children. I also welcome anyone with ideas to contribute or teachers to share their needs.

Cell Architecture Studio

React TypeScript Vite Three.js 3D Assets Verification License Status Live Demo (https://cell-architecture-studio-inky.vercel.app)

An interactive cell architecture gallery built with React, Vite, Three.js, and staged GLB or procedural 3D cell assets. The project recreates a premium educational biology interface with selectable cell types, organelle details, comparison mode, responsive layout, and visual verification coverage.

Highlights

  • Seven specimen views: plant cell, white blood cell, neuron, epithelial cell, bacteria cell, animal cell, and muscle cell.
  • High fidelity Plant Cell and White Blood Cell GLB rendering with native texture preservation.
  • Mesh first experience with 3D canvas rendering as the default view.
  • AI Tutor panel with learning prompts, lesson focus, and mastery tracking.
  • Model loading overlay for large GLB assets on slower networks.
  • Procedural fallback geometry for specimens that do not yet have production GLB assets.
  • Detail panel for organelles, microscope modes, specimen metadata, and comparison workflow.
  • Responsive desktop, compact, and mobile layouts with browser screenshot verification.

Preview Modes

Getting Started

Install dependencies:

bash npm install

Run the local development server:

bash npm run dev

Open the app:

text http://127.0.0.1:5173/

Build for production:

bash npm run build

Run visual verification:

bash npm run verify

Asset Notes

The highest fidelity specimens are loaded from public/models/ and configured in src/data/cells.ts.

SpecimenCurrent asset
Plant Cellpublic/models/plant-cell-first001.glb
White Blood Cellpublic/models/white-blood-cell-user.glb
Animal Cellpublic/models/animal-cell-nih.glb
Neuronpublic/models/neuron-nih.glb
Bacteria Wallpublic/models/bacteria-wall-nih.glb

Transparent PNG references in public/cell-renders-transparent/ are used for thumbnails and model previews. Detailed provenance is tracked in docs/ASSETS.md.

Verification

npm run verify launches the local app, captures desktop, compact, mobile, and interaction screenshots, then checks canvas pixel metrics to catch blank renders or major layout regressions.

Current coverage includes:

  • Desktop, compact, and mobile smoke checks.
  • Plant Cell GLB render check.
  • White Blood Cell GLB render check.
  • Bacteria mesh interaction check.
  • Comparison modal check.

Roadmap

  • Add production quality GLB models for the remaining specimens.
  • Add lazy loading and route level code splitting for 3D bundles.
  • Expand educational annotations for each organelle.
  • Add screenshot export and 3D export workflows.
  • Add asset license metadata directly into the UI.

License

The application code is licensed under the MIT License. Included GLB models and image assets retain their documented provenance in docs/ASSETS.md.

岚叔 (@LufzzLiz): The replica is almost complete. I’ll share a tutorial and open-source the code. First, take a look at my recording to see the effect—focus on the first two; the rest haven’t been done yet 😂.

Special thanks to the original creator @DilumSanjaya for creating such an amazing project—I’m truly impressed 👍.

【Step-by-Step Tutorial】 1️⃣ Send the original creator’s video directly to Coex and ask it to replicate the website from the video. Codex will take screenshots, extract frames, generate images, and silently replicate it.
