[Michaelazzz]

To-do:

• Define the structure of the literature review
• Define the taxonomy of each section
• Define a list of key words relating to the dissertation
• Read papers based on the keywords
• Find similar systems that can be compared to VRDAVis

To gain an understanding of the existing research and debates relevant to a particular topic or area of study, and to present that knowledge in the form of a written report

Key Words

• Virtual reality
• Volume rendering/visualisation
• Tiling algorithm
• Tile streaming
• Three-dimensional tiling
• Remote visualisation
• Local visualisation
• Astronomy visualisation
• Immersive analytics
• Interactive visualisation
• Traversing multiple levels of compressed data

Basic Structure

Introduction

• define the topic and define context
• establish your point of view
• explain the structure of the review

Body

• Organise sections according to the taxonomy
• Relate the chosen topic to the wider subject area
• Move from a wider view of the literature to the specific focus

Current Systems

• read papers + write notes
• define subsections
• write section
• edit

Current volume data visualisation systems
Compare how they work compared to VRDAVis (establish comparison metrics)

• iDaVIE
• CARTA
• Frelled
• SlicerAstro
• OpenSpace
• E0102-VR

Visual analytics

• read papers + write notes
• define subsections
• write section
• edit

Data Visualisation

• read papers + write notes
• define subsections
• write section
• edit

Volume rendering

• techniques
• volume vs iso-surface
• 2D vs 3D - why is 3D such an improvement
• optimisations

Rendering Strategy

• read papers + write notes
• define subsections
• write sections
