Project Overview
This client/server application provides immediate access to large sets of high-resolution stereo images using a QTVR style interface. It assumes that the user will view only a "small" selection of the images and consequently does not warrant downloading the entire image set. Image sets are stored on the server as JPEG image files. Every image set has at least one dimension consisting of at a full revolution around an object. Consecutive images along this axis are used to construct the stereo view of an anatomical object. The user interface maps left/right motion of the mouse onto this dimension. Image sets can be multidimensional with additional dimensions mapped to vertical motion of the mouse. For example, an image set might views of the anatomy at various stages of dissection or magnification. The interface allows the user to choose which of these additional dimensions are mapped onto vertical movement.
Project Status
StereoClients are able to form collaborative groups so that one user can assume the role a leader for the group. When active, group clients follow the leader through the image set. In addition the leader controls a "pointer" which can be used to mark locations in the image. Clients are free to enter and leave this mode as required.
