Remote Rendering of Large Biological Datasets

This paper presents remote rendering technologies to support the analysis and information exploration of large biological datasets. Reconstructed three-dimensional models and other data domains stored in a database are the foundation for the visualization. Remote Rendering via a clients web interface enables a widespread access to the data with interactive frame rates and high-quality rendering results without the demand of new client hardware. Moreover, the rendering server has the capability to manage multiple independent or collaborative sessions and has a very small bandwidth consumption over time.
