Abstract

This paper proposes and compares several methods for interactive volume rendering in mobile devices. This kind of devices has several restrictions and limitations both in performance and in storage capacity. The paper reviews the suitability of some existing direct volume rendering methods, and proposes a novel approach that takes advantage of the graphics capabilities of modern OpenGL ES 2.0 enabled devices. Several experiments have been carried out to test the behaviour of the described method.
