Simulation of complex 3-dimensional phenomena data sets which are hard to comprehend using conventional 2-dimensionally oriented visualization tools. One way to overcome this limitation is to employ various volume visualization techniques. While early volume visualization techniques worked well on simple scalar volumes they failed to exploit frame buffer hardware capabilities and handle higher order data such as vector field. Work at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has centered on developing new techniques and extending existing techniques.
