What does VOXEL mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A unit of graphic information that defines a point within a three-dimensional space, the three-dimensional counterpart of a pixel.
A voxel represents a single value, such as colour or density, at one position in a three-dimensional grid, much as a pixel does on a flat screen. Medical scanners, video games and scientific visualisation software all build solid-looking images out of many thousands of voxels. The word blends volume and pixel to describe this three-dimensional building block.
