abstract = "Exploded views are an illustration technique where an object is partitioned  into several segments. These segments are displaced to reveal otherwise  hidden detail. In this paper we apply the concept of exploded views  to volumetric data in order to solve the general problem of occlusion.  In many cases an object of interest is occluded by other structures.  While transparency or cutaways can be used to reveal a focus object,  these techniques remove parts of the context information. Exploded  views, on the other hand, do not suffer from this drawback. Our approach  employs a force-based model: the volume is divided into a part configuration  controlled by a number of forces and constraints. The focus object  exerts an explosion force causing the parts to arrange according  to the given constraints. We show that this novel and flexible approach  allows for a wide variety of explosion-based visualizations including  view-dependent explosions. Furthermore, we present a high-quality  GPU-based volume ray casting algorithm for exploded views which allows  rendering and interaction at several frames per second.",
