Simian
The goal of Simian is to make volume rendering more interactive, intuitive, and expressive. Generating images using traditional volume rendering methods can be difficult. Even with a great deal of experience and training, the process of isolating features of interest in a dataset can be one of trial and error. Simian's combination of hardware based volume rendering (for interactivity), direct manipulation widgets (for intuitiveness), and multi-dimensional transfer functions (for expressiveness) minimizes the trail and error often associated with volume rendering and allows scientists, engineers, and physicians to efficiently answer important questions about their data.
Features:
- Multi-dimensional transfer functions
- Multi-modal visualization
- Dual-domain interaction
- Interactivity using graphics hardware
- Volume light transport solutions
- Procedural modeling
- Cutting edge user interface
