• Presentation Slide Show :: The slides used during the presentation can be downloaded here: click to download
• Example Videos :: These media clips where provided courteously of Mr. Shuo (Mark) Wang. They show different visualizations across various fields of study.
  • Amira Video (MPG) - Show 3 dimensional plumes over time.
  • Isosurface Decomposition (WMV) - Uses an Isosurface around a sphere representing the core of the earth to show decomposition.
  • Ortho-Slices (AVI) - Shows the usefulness of observing slices in subduction.
  • Ortho-Slices (AVI) - Another angle of the ortho-sliced subduction.
  • Ortho-Slices & 3D (AVI) - Shows the usefulness of observing slices in subduction with 3D volume rendering.
  • Ortho-Slices & Isosurfaces (AVI) - Shows the usefulness of observing slices in subduction with isosurfaces.
  • Up close View (AVI) - Zooming in on the details.
  • ??? (MPG) - ???.
  • 2D Subduction (Apple Quick time) - An example from the WEBIS project.
  • Psi 4 Alpha (Apple Quicktime) - ???.
