October 31, 2011 – People living in the Beehive State might easily pair the words “Utah” and “ski” in a word association game, but not so much for “Utah” and “SCI.” --something organizers of the new open house called SCIx hope to change. SCIx will take place on November 4th. For a list of presentations and full schedule.
The SCIRun development team are pleased to announce the release of SCIRun 4.5 with meshing tools. SCIRun 4.5 is available as a binary download for Windows and OS X, and as a source download for Linux.
We are happy to announce the 2.7 release of FluoRender. There are some exciting improvements in this version, including a rewritten rendering core, which improves the overall quality and performance of FluoRender. FluoRender can render more fine details, especially in the low signal intensity regions. It renders both volumes and mesh data faster, especially at higher zoom. And parameter adjusting feels smoother. For details, check the release notes and download FluoRender at www.fluorender.com.

ViSUS In The News
ViSUS software has received a great deal of news recently due to it's ability to quickly generate small preview images from very large images.
U News Center September 20, 2010 -- University of Utah faculty develop a wealth of software, and they now have a resource that will help them organize, refine and make it more commercially viable. That resource is the Software Development Center, which will open its doors this month in a newly remodeled space in the Technology Commercialization Office located at 615 Arapeen Drive in Research Park. The Software Development Center is a joint effort between the University of Utah's Technology Commercialization Office (TCO), which manages all intellectual property on campus, and the Scientific Computing and Imaging (SCI) Institute.
SCI will host an open house for Vis Week conference attendees October 28th from 6:30 pm to 9:00pm. Busses will be available to transport guests from the conference to the SCI Institute. Boarding will begin at 6:15pm and will run continuously with the last bus leaving SCI at about 8:45 or 9:00.
