+                <i>VOLMAP Viewer</i> is a web-based tool for the visual assessment and analysis of maps between

+                and target domains, check map validity, and compute the map quality according to a variety of popular
+                distortion metrics. Fundamental interaction features such as volume slicing and synchronized picking
+                are also possible: you can select any tetrahedron, highlighting the corresponding element on both domains
