Unlike software-based methods, the use of more and more available specialpurpose hardware allows volume rendering at interactive frame rates - a crucial criterion for acceptance in industrial applications,e,g. CFD analysis, Careful optimizations and the exclusive use of hardware-accelerated data manipulation facilities even enable volume rendered movies supporting real time interactivity. This article presents the most important features and implementation issues of an OpenInventor-based stereoscopic, VR-featured volume rendering system for instationary datasets.10.2312/vissym19991007
