wasn't much of a review, really! :-) There is that much useless software and
bloatware on the market, that it is nice to see more proper,
functional software appear.This is just a really nice tool for an
engineer to have at their disposal. I look forward to getting my hands
dirty with it in the coming weeks!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Adriano,
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>It's nice to see such interest. I guess Pat might be able to provide more
details, but in the mean time I'll try to come with some workaround.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>So regarding the type of the data that can be loaded, thanks to ParaView
and ParaViewWeb there is no real limitation. You can use a ParaViewWeb as a
front-end to convert on the fly the data that you need to load and ask your
mobile device to render the geometry that has been delivered to it. You can
even ask ParaViewWeb to pre-process the raw data to get only the subset you
are interested in.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>In fact the coupling of ParaViewWeb and KiwiViewer brings a wider use
case to the whole framework and that's true for both framework. Both can
benefit from each other. ParaViewWeb extend its usage outside the Web and
KiwiViewer get access to a remote processing framework that can do the heavy
lifting so it could focus on the rendering part.</DIV>

viewer, time-series animation, and a 3D image slice plane widget;

running session and receive geometry from ParaViewWeb, then view it
locally on the mobile device without any further network access);
