Description
Summary:In this work, we present the concept, design and implementation of a new software to visualize and segment 3-dimensional medical data. The main goal was to create a platform that would allow trying out new approaches and ideas while staying independent from hardware and operating system, being especially useful for interdisciplinary research groups. A special focus will be given on fast and interactive volume visualization, and a survey on the use of Virtual Reality (VR) and especially haptic/force feedback in medical applications will be provided. The software will be published as Open Source and therefore be available as a rapid prototyping platform for own ideas and plugins for all members of the scientific community.
