Part 3:
IRIDAS and Lennart Nilsson

Part 4:
The Right Tool for the Job

Collaboration Gets Results

“It was really hard work,” reports Hanna, “we had one hundred frames to work with which became a four second film. Simultaneously, Lennart worked intensively to take new still shots in extremely high resolution, specifically for stereoscopic viewing.”

Thankfully, it all came together in time for the premiere. “We found David and Hanna a pleasure to work with,” says IRIDAS CEO Lin Kayser. “They were very clear about where they needed help and were obviously quick learners. It was simply a matter of going through their checklist and getting the thing set-up with them. We’re delighted that it was such a success!”

The FrameCycler Advantage

The presentation made a deep impression on the audience, and the experience was underscored by the power of the technology. FrameCycler’s extensive looping options, allowed sequences to be “ping-ponged” backwards and forwards. “This is a great advantage for scientists,” says Hanna, “there was so much to see and this way they could watch for all sorts of different things as a complex three-dimensional process unfolded—forwards and backwards—before their eyes.” 

“The fact that the playback transitions so smoothly at the in- and out-points is great: it allows the viewer to scrutinize a sequence for a long time without distractions,” adds David. “We found that the application’s instant responsiveness when scrubbing was very useful. When used with a 3d data set sequence, for example, scrubbing works as a simple, yet very effective way of smoothly “rotating” the data set (which can be infinitely complex) around one axis.”
