Vis-à-Web was designed as a distributed visualization software on the word-wide-web (WWW). Using Vis-à-Web, owners of visualization algorithms may offer their visualization tool as a service on the WWW without giving away their code. Users can access such a service as simply as ordinary WWW-pages. Data may be processed on a variety of servers and the resulting visualization may be combined to a single complex scene. A prototype application using two distributed servers at the DLR in Germany and the TU Delft in the Netherlands was successfully demonstrated.
