Powerful virtual machines (compute instances) that provide interactive remote desktop interface with 3D Slicer and SlicerMorph and its related extensions preloaded for 3D digital morphology and morphometrics data processing.
In a nutshell, you:
- Have a research and/or teaching focus centered on 3D biological structure (e.g., 3D morphometrics, or visualization);
- Need occasional access to powerful computers with large amounts of RAM and GPU (up to 40GB GPU)
- You have a github account;
- You have an ORCID with a public profile.
Also, note that any use case falls under the category of Human Subject Research is not allowed on MorphoCloud.
To get more information about these instances, please review this document.
