The demand on virtual planning systems is increasing, in particular for technical pretentious surgical interventions such as intracranial endoscopy. In this paper, a new virtual system for neuroendoscopy is presented. The main purpose of this system is to provide support for the planning and training of neuroendoscopic interventions. The software is applied for virtual endoscopic visualization of three-dimensional magnetic resonance data sets, using a clinical magnetic resonance scanner. Rendering is performed on a Hewlett-Packard unix workstation. Virtual endoscopy provides a three-dimensional view of the cerebral ventricles with good visualization of anatomic details. The rendering system used allows the generation of fly-through sequences through the entire ventricular system in real-time. Navigation is controlled by mouse movements. The visualization of the computer generated intraventricular spaces is adapted to the characteristics of the optical endoscope. The presented virtual neuroendoscopy system is a promising tool for planning and training of neuroendoscopic procedures. It provides the ability to simulate these procedures based on the patient's individual anatomy, prior to surgery.

CAVE/sup TM/ displays offer many advantages over other virtual reality (VR) displays, including a large, unencumbered viewing space. Unfortunately, the typical tracking subsystems used with CAVE/sup TM/ displays tether the user and lessen this advantage. We have designed a simple, low-cost foot tracker that is wireless, leaving the user free to move. The tracker can be assembled for less than $200 US, and achieves an accuracy of /spl plusmn/10 cm at a 20-Hz sampling rate. We have tested the prototype with two applications: a visualization supporting close visual inspection, and a walkthrough of the campus. Although the tracking was convincing, it was clear that the tracker's limitations make it less than ideal for applications requiring precise visual inspection. However the freedom of motion allowed by the tracker was a compelling supplement to our campus walkthrough, allowing users to stroll and look around corners.
