....a cutting plane represented by a flat plate connected to a second tracker. The user moves the cutting plane to interactively generate cutaway views of the brain. New users immediately understandhow the manipulation works and need essentially no training to use the system. Clifton and Pang [7] built a system that uses a CyberGlove to control a series of cutting planes and surfaces. The user sits in front of a monitor and cuts the volume using hand postures to state the geometry of the cutting surface. The cutting surface is subdivided into smaller and smaller triangles depending on the ....

....visualize a dataset attribute. These contour lines are then drawn upon the front face of the plate. The presence of the plate object at the 3D location in the volume gives the user a good indication where the data being contoured is from. This is a similar idea to Clifton and Pang s cutting planes [7], except that SFA offers different rendering and control of the planes. One of the desired features of 2D contouring in SFA is the ability to move the plate in real time and have the contour lines update in real time. This allows the user to quickly check multiple areas of the 3D dataset. ....
