Remote data visualization through websockets

Abstract

The exponential growth in data storage capacity and collection are beginning to strain the limits of traditional web-based visualization solutions. Remote rendering is a solution that can address the bandwidth limitations of visualizing large datasets over the Internet. In this paper, we have proposed a remote visualization system architecture using web sockets that utilizes a few new technologies available in modern web browsers to make remote visualization accessible to anyone without the need to neither download any of the data nor need specialized hardware to visualize it. © 2011 IEEE.
