Abstract
Scientists often explore and analyze large-scale scientific simulation data
by leveraging two- and three-dimensional visualizations. The data and tasks can
be complex and therefore best supported using myriad display technologies, from
mobile devices to large high-resolution display walls to virtual reality
headsets. Using a simulation of neuron connections in the human brain, we
present our work leveraging various web technologies to create a multi-platform
scientific visualization application. Users can spread visualization and
interaction across multiple devices to support flexible user interfaces and
both co-located and remote collaboration. Drawing inspiration from responsive
web design principles, this work demonstrates that a single codebase can be
adapted to develop scientific visualization applications that operate
everywhere.
