                         ray-casting to control the cursor movements on surfaces of volume 
                         data only on the basis of their sampled scalar values. This method 
                         does not rely on building a tight proxy geometry nor computing 
                         local iso-surface parametrization. In this setting only a few 
                         instructions should be included in a ray-casting shader: at every 
                         fragment the depth of the closest non-transparent voxel along each 
                         viewing ray is calculated and stored in the depth buffer. Its 
                         application in the manipulation of 3D medical images has, however, 
                         a broad spectrum. Two of them are presented. The proposed 
                         technique is very simple and fast, yet produces very nice and 
                         intuitive visual feedbacks.",
