Visualizing spatial distances between objects in 3D is challenging but achievable. Adding monocular cues to visualizations significantly improves instant and quantitative distance analysis for interactive applications.

Area of Science:

  • Computer Graphics
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Quantitative spatial distance assessment is crucial for interactive applications like virtual assembly and medical planning.
  • Existing research on distance measures is extensive, but visualization techniques for interactive scenarios remain underdeveloped.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present and evaluate two novel visualization approaches for interactive spatial distance assessment.
  • To investigate the effectiveness of these methods for intuitive 3D implant positioning in medical operation planning.

Main Methods:

  • Developed two distinct visualization techniques: cylindrical glyphs with adaptive shape/color and surface color-coding using precomputed distance fields.
  • Employed ray/triangle mesh intersection for direct distance computation with glyphs and distance fields for slice-based visualization.
