A Generic Framework for Using Interactive Visualization on Mobile Devices

The latest mobile devices are capable of displaying graphical content on larger screens and by increased CPU power offer possibilities for new interesting system approaches and technologies especially in the field of 3D visualization. This paper presents a generic framework for remote visualization on such devices. The presented framework focuses on increased portability and flexibility that goes beyond the results of previous work in this research area. On the server side, existing visualization applications can easily be integrated with and connected to mobile devices. On the client side, the utilization of current standard technologies assures a high portability over a variety of different mobile operating systems and devices.
