Interacting with Visible Human Data Using an ImmersaDesk

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.
