•
Storage (polys vs. voxels)
Effects (reflections, refractions, shadows)
Radiosity – is it easier/better with voxels?
Potential for modeling
Can the “Visible Human” walk?
Volume test data (a teapot with actual tea)
Role of image processing and computer vision
A stack of images is a volume (modeling)
Availability of real-time volume rendering
Penetration of volume graphics into other
disciplines (think Siggraph…)

3D textures, subsurface scattering, virtual voyage
New Issues
• User interfaces

transfer functions are a pain
• Modeling tool

surface splatting vs. volume splatting
• Large datasets are still a problem

multi-variate, multi-valued ones, too
• Strides in segmentation are direly needed

need to get features from the scanned datasets
• Better understanding of perceptional issues

how can we best accentuate the features we find

Ten Issues for 2005
1. Proof of reliability and accuracy
2. Make interface more simple and less daunting
3. Work closely with other disciplines
4. Visual data mining and analysis
5. Effective visualization, not so much exploratory
6. Make more popular for target groups
7. Incorporation of cognition and perception
8. Usability
9. Make it taste like beer
10. Make it taste like a lobster
Ten Issues for 2005
1. Proof of reliability and accuracy
2. Make interface more simple (create information interfaces)
3. Work closely with other disciplines
4. Visual data mining / analysis / feature extraction (segmentation)
5. Effective / illustrative visualization, not so much exploratory
6. Make more popular for target groups
7. Incorporation of cognition and perception
8 User study / validation / common framework for this
9. Framework to integrate algorithms (VolumeShop Pro)
10. Global illumination
