It will be tricky for various reasons. I definitely has interest in it
and other day I was talking to our Volume Rendering expert about it.

Perhaps, including GPU-based Ray Casting. Or you think

It could be. Although using GL_OES_texture_3D extension we could get
3D texture in VES but I am not really sure how its going to perform in
real time. Although I must add that given current hardware status I
won't be surprised if we can get decent frame rate for small to medium
datatsets.
