cutting|Plane: an interactive tool for exploration of 3D datasets via slicing
Pages 167 - 171
Abstract
The interpretation of results of analysis often requires considerable resources; both hardware and human expertise and time. Many disciplines generate three-dimensional volume datasets that need to be explored to observe structure and trends in key variables. This paper presents a coupled hardware-software approach for aiding data interpretation by cutting the dataset with a plane. The developed device can be held by the user and interactively manipulated to re-orient the cutting plane and observe trends in the data. As a practical application of the device, three-dimensional stress analysis results were explored using the device resulting in an increased efficiency of interaction and interpretation.
