WebViz: A web-based collaborative interactive
visualization system for largescale data sets

With larger, faster, and more affordable multi-core
and massively parallel computers coming to the
market and with the introduction of general purpose
GPU computing, the number and size of data sets
being produced by the scientific community is on a
steep rise. Additionally, with the rise of digital com-
munication technologies, it is more and more com-
mon for scientists to engage in international col-
laborations across large geographical distances. To
make sense of the large amount of data now being
produced and to make collaboration between sci-
entists easier, a new paradigm for data visualiza-
tion is necessary. We propose that collaborative vi-
sualization tools and a web-based approach to data
visualization is an attractive solution [Woodward et
al., 2007; Damon et al., 2008; Greensky et al., 2008;
McLane et al., 2009].
We have created a web-based application for
multi-user collaborative visualization called WebViz.
Our web application allows users in geographically
disparate locations to simultaneously and collec-
tively visualize large data sets (on the order of
gigabytes) over the Internet. Furthermore, by pro-
viding data visualization services "in the cloud," us-
ers all around the world can leverage our service
regardless of their local compute capabilities.
WebViz leverages asynchronous java and XML
(AJAX) web development paradigms via the Google
Web Toolkit (http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/) to
provide remote users with a web portal to LCSE's
(http://www.lcse.umn.edu) large-scale interactive
visualization system already in place at the Univer-
sity of Minnesota. LCSE's custom hierarchical vol-
ume rendering software provides high-resolution vi-
sualizations on the order of 15 million pixels and has
been employed primarily for visualizing data from simu-
lations in astrophysics, geophysics, and computa-
tional fluid dynamics [Porter, 2002; Porter et al., 2002;
Greensky et al., 2008; McLane et al., 2009].
In the current version of our WebViz application,
we have implemented a new, highly extensible back-
end framework built around HTTP "server push" tech-
nology. This design allows us to provide a rich col-
laborative environment and a smooth end-user ex-
perience. Furthermore, the web application is al-
most completely platform independent and is ac-
cessible via a variety of devices including netbooks,
iPhones, and other web- and javascript-enabled cell
phones.
Features in the current version of WebViz include:
the ability for (1) users to launch multiple visualiza-
tions, (2) a user to invite one or more other users to
view their visualization in real-time, (3) users to del-
egate control aspects of the visualization to others
and (4) engage in collaborative chat and instant mes-
saging with other users. These features are all in
addition to a full range of visualization functions in-
cluding 3D camera and object orientation/position
manipulation, timestepping control, and custom
color/alpha mapping.
