A substrate for modular, extensible data-visualization

As scientific questions grow in scope and datasets grow larger, collaborative research teams and data dissemination have emerged as core research enablers. However, simply visualizing datasets is challenging, especially when sharing information across research groups or to the broader scientific community. We present substrate, a data-visualization platform designed to enable communication and code reuse across diverse research teams. Written in three.js, our platform provides a rigid and simple, yet powerful interface for scientists to rapidly build tools and effective visualizations.
