Abstract

In this paper we present a new client-server based visualization framework called openVisaar. For remote visualization encoded video streams are multicast from each cluster client node to the remote application with RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol). At the remote site only an ISO-compliant MPEG-4 video player software is needed to decode the video stream. By supporting remote video streams spatially separated working partners have the possibility of synchronous collaboration with our visualization system. For navigation and interaction at the remote site openVisaar offers different client software. Navigation and collaborative interaction can be enhanced with an additional Augmented Reality support. Only components that can be used freely for non commercial purposes are integrated.
