The Project
The OpenQVis project implements methods for interactive high-quality volume visualization on general purpose hard-ware such as commodity desktop computers with graphics cards designed for computer games and multimedia. The aim of this project is to achieve high image quality comparable to traditional ray-casting solutions at interactive frame rates on inexpensive hardware platforms.
