Abstract

This paper presents a generic solution for hardware-accelerated remote visualization that works transparently for all OpenGL-based applications and OpenGL-based scene graphs. Universality is achieved by taking advantage of dynamic linking, efficient data transfer by means of VNC. The proposed solution does not require any modifications of existing applications and allows for remote visualization with different hardware architectures involved in the visualization process. The library's performance is evaluated using standard OpenGL example programs and by volume rendering substantial data sets.
