RSIG Video Demonstrations

There are two different user interfaces to RSIG. The first, RSIG3D, is a standalone application for Windows and Mac OS computers. It offers the same basic subsetting functionality as the old RSIG2D, while also providing a richly immersive and interactive visualization capability.

The second, RSIG2D, is a legacy Java application which can be downloaded and run as a standalone application (recommended), or as an applet inside a web browser.

This page links to downloadable video files you can play locally that illustrate the 3D and 2D interfaces. The RSIG3D videos serve as basic tutorials to the application.
