Wiimote-controlled stereoscopic MRI visualization with sonic augmentation

Published: 06 May 2010 Publication History

Abstract

Medical imaging techniques such as Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) that produce three-dimensional views of the body have become commonplace. In this paper we provide a preliminary overview of an MRI stereoscopic visualization system that we have recently begun developing. Stereoscopic visualization augmented with auditory cues (sonification) and a Nintendo Wii remote controller ("Wiimote") allows the user to easily manipulate the visualization.
