Abstract

Through the increasing levels of sophistication of measuring equipment,
lowering costs of high capacity storage, and rising processor speeds,
data sets generated from various sources are becoming ever larger,
especially when the data is time-varying. However, primary storage sizes
and bandwidth have not grown in step, and creating interactive
visualizations for ultra-scale data sets remains a significant
challenge. 

We have designed a system that allows a user to interactively explore
large scale data using commodity hardware, such as a laptop computer,
without requiring a constant high-speed network connection. An image
based intermediate representation is used, with a storage size and
rendering complexity that is independent of the size of the original
data set, which maintains the ability to manipulate significant
visualization parameters.

The system incorporates the ability for the user to intuitively create
high resolution videos of the data, based on an interpolation of salient
views of the data as specified by the user.
