VRvisu: A Tool for Virtual Reality Based Visualization of Medical Data

A large body of research is available on data visualization and many tools have been developed to visually comprehend large healthcare datasets. However, little attention has been paid to the area of visualization using virtual reality (VR). In order to fill this gap, we designed and developed a tool called VRVisu to visualize large and complex medical datasets using VR. More specifically, our research focuses on creating 3D images of tumors from real-world medical datasets and displays them in a virtual reality environment in meaningful ways. The tool provides novel visualizations for medical practitioners to identify and analyze the change in shape of tumors.
