4D Data Visualization Using Iso-Surfaces and a Control Plane

for the visualization of time-varying volume data of one or several
variables as they occur in scientific and engineering applications.
We partition the data dimensions on the client side into a 3D viewer
for iso-surfaces and a 2D control plane where each point selects a
particular iso-surface in 3D. We describe geometric data structures
based on an unstructured mesh of 4-simplices on the server side to
support remote storage and real-time interaction with the data. We
report on experiments for constructing the data structure and an
initial prototype for the user interaction on the client.

This is joint work with Ajith Mascarenhas, Jarek Rossignac, and Jack
