Using Spatial Reality Display (SRD) with Kitware: A Comprehensive Guide

Spatial Reality Display (SRD) can be used with Kitware's tools, such as Paraview and 3DSlicer, offers a powerful solution for 3D visualization and analysis. This guide provides an overview of how to effectively use SRD with Kitware software.

Introduction

Supporting Spatial Reality Display aims to enhance the digital presence and visualization capabilities of research institutes and university labs. The project leverages the SRD technology to provide intuitive and immersive 3D visualization experiences.

Setting up the SRD

1. Open the Spatial Reality Display Settings application.
2. In the OpenXR Setting tab, click Set Spatial Reality Display as the active device.

Setting Up Paraview with SRD

Paraview is a 3D visualization tool widely used in research labs. To use Paraview with SRD, follow these steps:

1. Install Paraview: Ensure you have the latest version of Paraview installed on your system.
2. Enable OpenXR Plugin: In Paraview, navigate to the Plugin Manager and enable the OpenXR plugin.
3. Configure XR Settings: Open the XRInspector settings window and configure the OpenXR settings. Highlight the "Send to XR" option to enable SRD visualization.
4. Test Visualization: Perform tests to ensure that temporal visualization, real-time color change, and volumetric rendering are working correctly with the SRD.

Using 3DSlicer with SRD

3DSlicer is a versatile application for medical image analysis and visualization. To use 3DSlicer with SRD:

1. Install 3DSlicer: Download and install the latest version of 3DSlicer.
2. Download VR Plugin: Install the Slicer Virtual Reality plugin to enable SRD support.
3. Perform Tests: Conduct tests to verify that the SRD can handle various imaging data types and functionalities, such as image segmentation and surgical navigation.

Recording and Showcasing Results

To effectively showcase the results of using SRD with Kitware tools:

1. Side-by-Side Recording: Use OBS to capture the application execution window for clear 3D model visualization.
2. Publish Use Cases: Share the successful use cases on Kitware and Sony websites to highlight the capabilities of SRD in research and commercial applications.

Conclusion

The integration of SRD with Kitware's Paraview and 3DSlicer provides a robust solution for 3D visualization and analysis. By following the steps outlined in this guide, researchers and developers can leverage SRD technology to enhance their projects and achieve high-quality visualization results.
