KiwiViewer

KiwiViewer is a free, open-source visualization app for exploring scientific and medical datasets. KiwiViewer opens a variety of file formats including obj, stl, ply, vtk, vtp, vtu, vti, mha, g, and pdb. Datasets can be opened from the SD card or DropBox, or downloaded from a URL. Scenes consisting of multiple datasets can be loaded into KiwiViewer using a simple comma-separated-value file format.
KiwiViewer provides ParaViewWeb connectivity, enabling users to join a live ParaViewWeb session and download the scene for local visualization. Also included with KiwiViewer are several visualization demos such as an interactive brain atlas viewer, an animated time-series dataset, and a 3D image slice plane widget.

KiwiViewer is powered by VTK (the Visualization Toolkit) and VES (the VTK OpenGL ES 2.0 Rendering Engine.) Visit kiwiviewer.org for more information. There, you can download the source code to these projects, and use VTK, VES, and the Kiwi Platform to create your own visualization applications for mobile devices.

If your favorite file format is not supported, let us know! Contact us at [email protected]. You can also use the ParaView desktop application (paraview.org) to convert files for KiwiViewer.

Samsung Galaxy Nexus owners: there is an issue that may cause the device to reboot while running KiwiViewer. Avoid screen orientation changes while the camera is rotating.

Would be great, but I need to open files from SD card.

Thanks for working on this. It is an excellent start and could be very useful. I can't wait for the Android version to catch up with the Apple one!

Obviously there is a lot more features that I would like to have here but nevertheless it's excellent as a starting point!

On my Nexus 10, the cutting-plane controls are far too sensitive on the Head CT Image. I wonder if it has something to do with screen resolution. The other interactive demos (can, brain atlas) work fine.

But I can't figure out how to load files from local storage.

Could not find way to open my own files.

Really impressive.

Demonstration is great. However, no way to load local data?

Me. A. b. Feb 10, 2016

Needs to be able to load larger files. Abandoned???????

A. G. u. Feb 24, 2012

is there anyway to load your own objects?

Avi. P. Mar 30, 2017

Very nice. Is the demo app open source?

Looks promising, however not able to figure out how to load files from local storage.

Great viewer for a lot of standard visualization types. The only negative is the lack of finer viewing controls, such as view angles, auto-zoom, auto-center, parallel/perspective, ...

It looks good but no chance to open with textures.
