Our contributions include a set of specialized interactive illustrative techniques able to provide different contextual information in different areas of the display, as well as an out-of-core CUDA-based raycasting engine with a number of improvements over current GPU volume raycasters. The possibilities of the system are demonstrated by the multi-user interactive exploration of 64 Gvoxel data sets on a 35 Mpixel light field display driven by a cluster of PCs.engSubject to Springer Nature’s AM terms of use - https://www.springernature.com/gp/open-science/policies/accepted-manuscript-terms.Volume renderingHigh-field displaysIllustrative visualizationMassive datasetsVirtual realityView-dependent visualization3D interactionjournal articleopen access10.1007/s00371-010-0453-y
