1. General side question: ray casting? Should we implement it?
   • has advantages but needs relatively new hardware
   • we want to have a smooth path to this approach
   • to support this, make inner rendering loop as clean as possible
   • ray casting will give us performance advantages but also better quatity isosurfacing
2. Michael's proposal
   • Refactoring the volume rendering
   • Build new shaders
     • will reqiore some new UI elements to control new shaders
     • allow easy addition of new shaders (currently very hard)
   • Handle multiple volumes
     • new functionality we don't have
   • Implement generalized bricking
3. Time line
   • "few weeks" of Michael's time
   • perform then in order above Link to main ImageVis3D Page
