Abstract

Most of the existing visualization and simulation applications run on the client machine and require an installation process. Browser based interactive visualizer for scientific and medical applications remain an unheard concept despite all advancements in computer and software technology and it remains a fairly difficult process to quickly prototype a visualization on a PC or a smart device. In this paper, we review and employed state-of-the-art web technologies, third-party libraries and frameworks to compare and develop some interactive browser-based, mobile friendly web applications. These latest web technologies have the potential to fulfill the promise of interactive browser based custom visualization applications. We presented and compared some of the latest web based tools available today. We also introduced couple of lightweight and interactive web based visualizer and simulator tools which are under development.
