[Paraview] Cross Site collaborative visualization

[Sebastien Jourdain]

Hi Brock,

Some answer are provided below.

I’m looking at a need to allow off campus and public (k-12, other schools)

What kind of data? Are you expecting dynamic pipeline, or some kind of
constrained exploration could be a possibility?

ParaViewWeb can definitely share the same server and provide collaboration
features, but for that you will need to setup a front-end that will allow
connection to existing/running session. There is nothing complex about
that, but ParaViewWeb only focus on the visualization aspect not on any
specific deployment configuration like collaboration or authentication
system.

ParaViewWeb can certainly provide the most advance access to your data but
will require some backend infrastructure and integration work.
We also have other approaches that could be more reasonable for a school
deployment which will put almost no constraints on the existing
infrastructure (No need for server side GPU and so on...) and provide good
capabilities of data exploration and visualization in a Web context.

ParaViewWeb is definitely part of ParaView and therefore will be supported
for the coming years with improvement expected.

We will be presenting at SC15 (Super Computing) on our booth our work in
Web Visualization. This will include ParaViewWeb improvements and the
announcement of that other project.

But we can certainly setup a meeting before that and talk in more details
about your goals and what that other project could do for you.
