For many years, we have been viewing stereo images created from a wide variety of microscopic sources. These images need to be easily viewed, shared and presented for stereo imagery to become more mainstream. We have been working for several years now to create affordable high resolution stereo display systems using the modern digital computers’ display capabilities. In the last couple of years, two methods have come into widespread use in our laboratory. One using shuttered goggles and the other using an active polarizing screen in front of the monitor. Both are synchronized with the display at refresh rates that allow for flicker free viewing. We use standard video display cards and shuttered glasses that cost under $300 (complete).Unfortunately, the software and video cards turn over at such a fast rate that we have found our hardware “orphaned” several times.

The ability to perform fast, accurate, high-resolution visualization is fundamental to improving our understanding of anatomical data. As the volumes of data increase from improvements in scanning technology, the methods applied to visualization must evolve. In this paper, we address the interactive display of data from high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging scanning of a rabbit heart and subsequent histological imaging. We describe a visualization environment involving a tiled liquid crystal display panel display wall and associated software, which provides an interactive and intuitive user interface. The oView software is an OpenGL application that is written for the VR Juggler environment. This environment abstracts displays and devices away from the application itself, aiding portability between different systems, from desktop PCs to multi-tiled display walls. Portability between display walls has been demonstrated through its use on walls at the universities of both Leeds and Oxford. We discuss important factors to be considered for interactive two-dimensional display of large three-dimensional datasets, including the use of intuitive input devices and level of detail aspects.
