Abstract
Remote visualization can not be well done in interactive way because of lacking of the expensive equipments and a large amount of resources in the past. With the development of Grid, it becomes possible. This paper discusses the pipeline of remote visualization technology based on Grid Computing. Moreover, we analyze and propose the basic framework of remote visualization technology for Grid. In addition, methods on improving the performance of visualization in Grid environment are discussed.
