This is very interesting, the amount of rendering complexity they pull from volume data is nothing short of impressive. Having never ventured beyond Orthogonal projections for pseudo 3D in my work, this is some fresh air. But it's rather useless as a standalone technology. Much of the appeal comes from pulling color and using it to render from segmented volume data, which is rarely the case in the field. "Scattering effects are modelled using a local gradient shading model" This can mess with perception, if done incorrectly, especially where precision is spares like Volumetric data pulled from Ultrasound, not to mention such a rendering model in non segmented data sets is questionable. But one hell of a tool to convince a board meeting of whatever.
