A web-based system for interactive visualization of scientific concepts

ion visualization is valuable in learning abstract ideas and new concepts. The existing technology for publishing online papers is lacking in terms of user interaction as well as dynamic ation of abstract concepts. Currently, the presentation of electronic documents does not fully exploit what the current technology is able to offer. Often, the visualization techniques employed are static 2-D illustrations. We propose a web-based system that allows authors of electronic documents to create their own interactive 3-D visualizations. Our target audience includes researchers from various fields. The proposed system allows researchers to share their ideas with other users in an interactive 3D virtual environment over the Internet.
