TEACHING POINTSUnderstand the concept of game engines that are conventionally used to develop entertainment softwareAppreciate the use of game engine technology to facilitate the development of medical visualization software (in particular with the help of a game engine's computer graphics features and its platform-independence)Learn how to develop typical visualization features like MPR, MIP and volume rendering with shader technologyLearn how to implement image data handling such as DICOM import and 3D reconstructionTry out example applications developed with a game engine for different platforms (e.g., mobile app, desktop app, virtual reality app)
