[vtkusers] Web visualization of VTK models

Hi!

I have to do a web interface for a project that works with medical
images using VTK from C++.

The objective is to use as much as possible the existing C++ code.

The web page has to allow visualitzation of models and let the user to
rotate, zoom or do other simple operations. Then

collect the parameters of the operation that the user wants to do from
a web form, and send the model to the server with the

parameters, and execute an existing C++ program to process the model.
This program will generate another model, and this

model has to be returned to the web client for visualitzation.

I have been looking for information about this and I would like to
know what you recommend for the web visualization: VRML or

Java using Java3D. I think Java allows to do more things that VRML.

In the case to use Java, are there already made applets to use them?
And if they aren't, do you know if it's easy to

implement them? I also have been reading about EAI, can anyone tell me
some experiences about it?


A lot of thanks in advance.
