Abstract
A computer-implemented method for exploration of medical visualization parameters in virtual spaces includes detecting a user location and a user orientation in a physical space and generating a display of an immersive layout centered at the user location and the user orientation. A plurality of holograms is generated within in the immersive layout. Each hologram depicts a rendering of a medical image with a distinct combination of rendering parameter values. The display is updated based on a change to one or more of the user location and the user orientation in the physical space.
