abstract = {In this paper, a low cost and portable 3D user interface for exploring medical data is presented. By means of a data glove, equipped with five bend sensors and an accelerometer, and a Wiimote, which tracks additional InfraRed Light Emitting Diodes placed on the glove, 3D imaging data can be visualized and manipulated in a semi-immersive virtual environment. The paper also details the interaction techniques we specifically designed for a medical imaging scenario and provides implementation details of the integration of the interface in an open-source medical image viewer.},

abstract = {In this paper, we introduce a low cost, not cumbersome, 3D user interface for exploring medical data. 3D imaging data can be manipulated in a semi-immersive virtual environment by means of an off-the-shelf wireless data glove equipped with an additional infrared LED. The LED is tracked by a Wii Remote, which is able to provide accurate positional information with no need for further six degrees of freedom position trackers. We also describe the interaction techniques we have designed specifically for a medical imaging scenario and provide some implementation details of the integration of the interface in an open-source image processing software for medical research.},
