Concepts and file formats
How bricks, LOD, transfer functions, markers, server origins, and SharePlay fit together in BorgVR.
User guide
Understand large volume data, not just display it.
BorgVR combines native Metal renderers, spatial interaction, SharePlay, dataset servers, and a WebGPU client. This guide takes you from the first dataset to collaborative analysis.
One system, several entry points
The right tool for each workspace
All renderers use the same BorgVR datasets, transfer functions, and marker files, while each interface is adapted to its platform.
Prepare the data
Open existing BorgVR files, import DICOM, NRRD, or QVIS data, or obtain a dataset from a server.
Shape the visualization
Choose transfer-function, illuminated transfer-function, or isosurface rendering and adjust clipping, detail, and sampling.
Share the result
Save transfer functions and markers or collaborate with other people through SharePlay and WebGPU.
Platform guides
Native applications
These four guides explain not only the features, but also the typical workflow and platform-specific interaction.
BorgVR for visionOS
Inspect volumes in space, create markers with your hands or Logitech Muse, and collaborate spatially with SharePlay.
Open the visionOS guideBorgVR Mobile
Explore local and remote data with touch, edit markers, and share or detach the view in a SharePlay session.
Open the iOS guideBorgVR for macOS
Explore large datasets with a mouse or trackpad, dock control panels, run scripts, and optionally start a local server.
Open the macOS guideBorgVR Dataset Server
Import and catalog datasets, operate the native BorgVR and WebGPU servers, and synchronize content between servers.
Open the server guideAdditional tools
Browser and automation
WebGPU
Open datasets in a browser without installation, use touch controls, and optionally persist bricks in IndexedDB.
Command-line tools
Convert or synthesize datasets and operate Swift or C++ servers without a graphical interface.
