Introduction to HueSpace2While HueSpace2 may bear superficial resemblance to other visualization tools, it surpasses them in almost every respect. While other tools simply create good-looking renderings, HueSpace2 turns the visualization and interpretation process into a rigorous analytical activity.
Using HueSpace2 enabled products, end users can challenge and test their assumptions in real time and thereby gain a far deeper understanding.
HueSpace2 is the commercial technology of choice
 |
for high end, high performance, highly customizable visualization

|
to create real time workflows
|
|
to simplify demanding and complex workflows
|
|
for volumetric visualization of very large datasets
|
|
for faster interpretation using real time voxel arithmetic, real time 3D volume deformation and many other unique HueSpace2 features
|
|
for its low total cost of ownership

A Great Step for Visualization
Recent improvements in acquisition technologies have led to rapidly increasing volumes of information in many industries and domains. Higher resolution, increased complexity and multiple attributes contribute to the need for more powerful visualization and interpretation tools and techniques. To cope with the challenges of understanding such vast amounts of data, end users demand better ways to inspect their data.
Bridging the Gap
The processing power, but also the complexity of Graphics Processing Units (GPU) technology and high performance computing (HPC) has accelerated tremendously in recent years. So far there has been no single toolkit that would allow end users and programmers alike to make use of either or both to achieve high performance visualization.
HueSpace2 is a world first in many ways:
|
GPGPU: World first commercial visualization toolkit to fully support the GPGPU approach for utilization of the powerful capabilities of GPUs in workstations and clusters
|
|
Scalability: World first commercial visualization toolkit to leverage PC based clusters for market leading scalability of datasets
|
|
Flexibility: World first to introduce a virtual machine for visualization purposes that provides the best possible performance using any hardware
|
|
Ray control: World first to introduce the concepts of render states and render state trees for complete ‘ray control’, more efficient workflows and improved performance
|
|
API: World first to introduce an API that is fully transparent as to whether GPUs or CPUs are being used for renderings - on a laptop, workstation or cluster
|
|
GPU failover: World first to introduce automatic GPU failover, so that if the GPU code does not work as anticipated (due to device driver trouble, inconsistent implementation of GPU features etc), the CPU will be used for rendering. This gives HueSpace2 the very best backward compatibility on the market. No other toolkit offers this option.
|
HueSpace2 is the result of many years of research and development and is Hue’s response to the above end user and programming challenges. In short, HueSpace2 is a completely new and different breed of visualization toolkits that features new technologies that previously have not been available to end users and programmers of visualization solutions.
