ImageVis3D is a lightweight, open source, volume rendering application for the interactive visualization of very large volumetric data sets. It utilizes both the slice based as well as the GPU ray casting approach to visualize the volume data. The source code is currently maintained in a publicly accessible Subversion repository [2] by the Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute [3] at the University of Utah.

History

ImageVis3D's development was initiated in 2007 by the NIH/NCRR Center for Integrative Biomedical Computing and additionally supported by the DOE Visualization and Analytics Center for Enabling Technologies at the SCI Institute. After an initial development phase of about one year the project was released under the MIT license and since then multiple institutions from America, Europe and Asia are contributing to the software. Recently the first version of ImageVis3D mobile has been released, allowing for the mobile visualization of volumetric scalar data.
