Below is a list of academic awards that gVXR (or its predecessor) contributed to. If your research making use of gVXR was awarded a prize, please let me know so that I can add it to the list.
- gVirtualXRay has just been recognized with a Community Choice award by SourceForge. This honor is awarded only to select projects that have reached significant milestones in terms of downloads and user engagement from the SourceForge community. This is a big achievement, as your project has qualified for this award out of over 500,000 open source projects on SourceForge. SourceForge sees nearly 20 million users per month looking for, and developing, open source software.
