Overview
Developed at Mitsubishi Electric based on the Cube-4 architecture developed at SUNY Stony Brook. VolumePro uses a modified Cube-4 called EM-Cube (Enhanced Memory Cube-4).
Renders 500 million Phong-illuminated composited samples per second which is equivalent to 256^3 volume at 30 frames per second.
Uses data sets such as CT, MRI, seismic and geological data, and computed finite element models.
