We have developed an experimental system for browsing volumetric data. The novel aspects of this research include (i) using rigid and non-rigid deformations for browsing volumetric data, allowing the user to "peer inside" without losing the surrounding contextual data, and (ii) sensitivity to the semantic layers (or subsets) within the data, and designing interaction techniques around these.
This work was published at IEEE Visualization 2003.
