The aim of this research line is the creation of a virtual environment for the direct analysis in three dimensions of volumetric data. To this end, we study volume rendering techniques that can be used in a time-critical setting and explore the design space of direct 3D interaction techniques for interacting with volumetric datasets. Our main application domain is currently medical data processing and simulation. We are developing a volume visualization system supporting head-tracked stereoscopic viewing registered with direct 3D interaction and a virtual endoscopy system merging the concepts of interactive direct volume rendering and endoscopy in a tool for non-invasive analysis and visualization.
