| description | Summary: Volumetric layouts of data are becoming increasingly common in a number of fields. Visualizing these data often requires downloading a large suite of dedicated tools with a significant learning curve. This process can be overwhelming for students or new researchers looking to quickly visualize and showcase a volumetric dataset. QuickVol was developed as a system to allow for rapid viewing of volumetric data without requiring extra setup. Built on WebGL, our system can run on any modern web browser, including mobile browsers, and can work completely offline. Additionally, an experimental immersive hand-tracking feature is included, which allows for hands-free manipulation of the imported volume, along with a showcase mode for viewing with a virtual reality headset. |
