The field of visualization quickly started to evolve. The goal was (and still is) to generate images that show what is inside the data. Early attempts tried to establish a mapping between the data and optical properties. For example, volume visualization voxels were assigned color and transparency, and the simulation of light transport generates images following photorealistic principles. Visualization also focused on realistic light transport, as photorealism was an unquestioned paradigm of computer graphics. Later, when visualization was already a
