DESCRIPTION
Volocity is the realization of Improvision's objective to provide the scientist with an interactive volume visualization system that will run on a standard desktop computer. Volume interactivity is the key to providing the user with an enhanced perception of depth and realism. Interactivity also allows the scientist to rapidly explore and understand large volumes of data. The highly advanced technology developed exclusively by Improvision for rapid, interactive volume visualization of 3D and 4D volumes has received several awards for innovation and is the subject of worldwide patent applications.

Volocity is the first true color 4D rendering system designed for biomedical imaging. It uses new highly advanced algorithims to provide high-speed, easy to use, interactive rendering of time resolved color 3D volumes. Volocity allows the user to visualize a 3D object and then observe and interact with it over time, for the first time providing scientists with a system to dynamically visualize both the structure and the purpose of biological structures.

    BMARO  This concerns the free version: Volocity LE. This is to my knowledge the best toolv found on the mac to browse trough stacks of 4D/5D images (x, y, z, t and different channels). This is a very specific tools extremely useful for poeple working on time lapse sequences coming from confocal and video microscopes.

    JONATHAN NORTON  This application is very difficult to use. It tries to do everything without actually knowing what it does.

    ANONYMOUS  First of all, incorporating so different functionality in one application looks like a wrong concept. Totally unusable for me in its present condition. Why developers of this software think that researchers should have so much pain using software for their studies? Come on, this a MAC application. Make it fun to use.

    STEPHEN BAXTER  I'm not sure I understand your comments. Volocity is a product that allows users to acquire, visualise, deconvolve and measure 3D image data from light microscopes. Volocity LE is a free version of Volocity that includes a subset of the visualisation features. We find that Volocity LE users think the application is very useful - there are not many free applications which allow the manipulation of 3D image data.

    We believe the feature set of Volocity hangs together pretty well. If you have specific comments I would urge you to contact support@improvision.com. Posting comments saying that "the software is totally unusable in its current condition" is not exactly constructive criticism that we can work with!

    Cheers,

    Steve.
