B9 H2 R2325

You are invited to attend the KAUST Cell Visualization Summit 2019 organized by the Nanovisualization group from the Visual Computing Center (VCC). The summit will focus on the technological advancement that can lead to an in-silico virtual and visual representation by integrating current knowledge into a unified structural and dynamic model of a living cell. Each keynote speaker will relate to one of the technological aspects (modeling, visualization, and interaction). Keynote speakers Arthur Olson Graham Johnson Anders Ynnerman For more information about the summit, please click here. If you

Web-based 3D Visualization

B9 L2 H2 H2

In this seminar I will present how to create 3D computer graphics and visualization systems for the web, using WebAssmbly and WebGPU language specifications, which are new, bleeding-edge technologies. Previously, accelerated graphics on the web was based on JavaScript libraries, which is still very popular, but they do not offer detailed memory management and code optimization, necessary for systems requiring high memory load and high computational demands. WebAssembly and WebGPU can be compiled from the C++ or Rust code, which also allows the deployment of the same codebase either for web or for the desktop-based applications.
