Abstract: Various exemplary embodiments relate to a method for displaying a simulation, the method including: displaying a cardiac display mode interface element, wherein the cardiac display mode is one of a heart rate display mode and cardiac display mode; receiving a first user selection from the cardiac display mode interface element indicating a cardiac display mode; displaying a cardiac value input interface element; receiving a second user selection from the cardiac value input interface element indicating a cardiac value, wherein the cardiac value is one of a heart rate and a cardiac cycle speed; and displaying a three-dimensional model of the heart based upon the cardiac display mode and the cardiac value.

Abstract: Various exemplary embodiments relate to a method and related devices including one or more of the following: displaying, on a display of the authoring device, a first representation of a environment, wherein the environment represents an anatomical structure; receiving, via a user input interface of the authoring device, a user input representing a requested change to the first representation of the environment; displaying, on the display, a transition between the first representation of the environment and a second representation, wherein the second representation is created based on the requested change; and generating a video file, wherein the video file enables playback of the transition.

Abstract: Various exemplary embodiments relate to a method and related devices including one or more of the following: displaying, on a display of the authoring device, a first representation of a first environment, wherein the first environment represents an anatomical structure; receiving, via a user input interface of the authoring device, a first user input representing a request to initiate a portal; in response to receiving the first user input, displaying, on the output device a first compound representation comprising: the first representation of the first environment, a portal frame, and a second representation of a second environment, wherein the second environment represents the anatomical structure and is located within the portal frame; and generating a video file, wherein the video file enables playback of the first compound representation.
