Multiple Window Visualization on the Web using VRML and the EAI

Visualization exploration is often aided through the use of multiple views. Such techniques enable the user to observe the visualization through different forms (multiform) and to navigate the visualization via different methods. The web provides a convenient publication medium for visualizations; allowing remote access for observation and investigation of the realizations. Thus, it seems wise to investigate Multiple View visualization on the web. Indeed, we have successfully used VRML, Java and the EAI to develop such web-based multiple view visualizations. We believe that multiple window techniques are useful to present visualization on the web, and may be useful for other virtual worlds.
