Abstract This paper describes a software environment for
the visualization and segmentation of large volumetric data sets such as
the Visible Human Project. The environment is immersive in the sense that
the user views the data set stereoscopically and manipulates the data using
a position/orientation tracked probe visually co-located with the data.
The environment is designed to allow the user to interact with the visualization
and segmentation processes in a tightly coupled computational loop. Two
modes of segmentation supported by this environment are discussed.
Acknowledgements The author wishes to thank Dr. Muriel Ross, the director the of the
NASA Ames Biocomputation Center, and her staff for the supportive environment
in which this work was begun.
