The program uses just plain old Java, but add this technology with sequencing information and with the 4D applications, studies can be virtually conducted to see how a medication would react with selected settings. Its resolution is scaleable to 100,000,000 pixels and more by using more than one projector per wall, and that is big.
It has applications with genomics, pharmaceuticals and imaging. The idea is to have diseases to be watched and studies done in 4D to obtain a greater data base of information. As this develops and is fed a selected array, it appears the progress from start to later development might be observed visually throughout the entire system. This could certainly answer many potential questions and give some additional sources for cures as a study would progress and allow for a visual roadmap for further comparisons. BD
Calgary, Alberta, Canada -- The University of Calgary's Sun Center of Excellence for Visual Genomics is home to the CAVEman project. The project aims to create visual maps of information about diseases that have a genetic component, such as cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer's. Using an immersive virtual reality environment called the CAVE, the research team will integrate a high-resolution digital atlas of a human body with medical data related to specific diseases. The final result will be a next-generation 4D (space and time) visual system to "see" disease processes and the effects of interventions, such as drugs, on these processes.
From the technical standpoint, the CAVEman software is written in Java and emphasizes complete portability across visualization devices, from simple laptops to sophisticated CAVE installations. Its goal is the development a complete Java 3D-enabled anatomical atlas of the human body, and create a generic data mapping mechanism between the atlas and biomedical patient data.
