Oxalya Group, a key member of the Collaviz project has joined the Web3D Consortium as a Directing Member to assist in developing and extending the X3D specification for scientific 3D visualization. The Collaviz project funded by the French government brings technology leaders together to find solutions for remote analysis and collaboration to the scientific and industrial community. These Web-based technologies with shared high-performance computing and visualization centers will allow researchers and engineers handling very large data sets, including 3D data models to collaborate in real-time.
The COLLAVIZ project integrates applications, allowing the exploration of scientific data in a collaborative mode for fluids dynamics, biochemistry and geophysics. One of the goals for this team is to develop a remote collaborative3D visualization framework for the Web as a decision-making and support tool. 3D scientific visualization faces new paradigms with various tools available today. Several 3D exchange formats norms are being addressed with a key interest in the ISO certified open standard X3D’s file format and runtime architecture format for Scientific Visualization Norms and Standards.
By joining Web3D as a Directing Member, OXALYA intends to take an active role in maturing X3D as the ISO standard that integrates delivery of real-time 3D scientific visualization with the power of XML on the Web and updating X3D pipelines that preserves BREP structures. OXALYA is a key technology provider for the Collaviz poject. OXALYA is researching and demonstrating ways to integrate X3D within the COLLAVIZ infrastructure for use by scientists to visually portray their inquiry and analysis results.
Oxalya Group is a European company based in Luxembourg, with several offices across Europe. Since 2003, our team brings High Performance Computing (HPC) technologies to the market. Its high investment in software technologies for scientific computing and numerical simulation distinguishes Oxalya as one of the fastest growing company on the market. Oxalya contributes to several major collaborative R&D technology programs in Europe, bringing simplicity and industrialization process to a deeply innovative market, in order to give researchers and research-engineers an opportunity to focus on their core job.
