Cross-Platform Presentation of Interactive Volumetric Imagery
Volume data is useful across many disciplines, not just medicine.
Thus, it is very important that researchers have a simple and
lightweight method of sharing and reproducing such volumetric
data. In this paper, we explore some of the challenges associated
with volume rendering, both from a classical sense and from the
context of Web3D technologies. We describe and evaluate the pro-
posed X3D Volume Rendering Component and its associated styles
for their suitability in the visualization of several types of image
data. Additionally, we examine the ability for a minimal X3D node
set to capture provenance and semantic information from outside
ontologies in metadata and integrate it with the scene graph
