Interactive Visualization of Weighted Three-Dimensional Alpha Hulls

An interactive visualization of weighted three-dimensional -hulls is presented for static and dynamic spheres. The -hull is analytically computed and represented by a triangulated mesh. The entire surface is computed and displayed in real-time at interactive rates. The weighted threedimensional -hulls are equivalent to smooth molecular surfaces of biochemistry. Biochemistry applications of interactive computation and display of -hulls or smooth molecular surfaces are outlined.
