                         categories of volume visualization. Volume on Surface (VoS) is a 
                         hybrid volume rendering technique that maps volume information to 
                         isosurfaces, intending to accelerate the volume rendering process. 
                         In this paper, we introduce an improved version of the VoS 
                         technique. Furthermore, we conduct an evaluation of CUDA-based 
                         versions of both the original and the improved approach, comparing 
                         them with the conventional Ray Casting algorithm. In some results, 
                         our technique is more than eight times faster than Ray Casting and 
                         thirty times than original version. In addition to the main 
                         discussion, we investigate how a surface simplification influences 
                         the performance and the quality of the images rendered by our 
                         approach.",
