Description
Summary:Collaborative visualization is an active area of research in computer science. Many different techniques and implementations have been proposed. However, most of today's systems require many high‐end graphics workstations. By implementing a new technique that separates the 2D and 3D components of the visualization process, we have developed a system called CEV that operates using only one high‐end workstation along with many inexpensive machines that need only the capability of running a web browser. Using Java RMI, CEV provides a heterogeneous environment for many users that is easy to use. This paper describes the operation, methodology, and implementation of CEV. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
