  • Abstract
    Interaction with medical volume data has often been difficult, due to the large memory and computational power required. By taking advantage of current high-end graphics hardware, we have developed a volumetric virtual environment that provides the ability to help people interact with the volumetric Visible Human data set. The application enables the user to explore the interior of a virtual human body in a natural and intuitive way
