Real-World Applications of JavaView
The following real-world applications make use of the flexible and open
interfaces provides of JavaView.
JavaView may be used as a
visualization front end for web-services, as a geometric software library
used in custom software, or for the production of online publications
including mathematical experiments and visualizations.
If you find that your own JavaView application might be useful for a broader community do not hesitate to send us a link to your site.
More than 500 visualizations in the book
Bilder der Mathematik (engl. A Mathematical Picture Book)
were produced with JavaView from all areas of mathematics.

Visual Geometry Pages
is a collection of online JavaView
applets on topics from differential geometry. Interactive
experiments and visualization for research and education.
|
Plus Magazine
launched a series Imaging Maths. Plus is an
internet magazine for mathematics published by the University of
Cambridge. Plus won the prestigious Webby award.

Inside the Klein Bottle |
EG-Models Archive
is a peer-refereed digital journal for the publication of the
electronic geometry models. Preview of models with embedded
JavaView-Lite applets. JavaView's XML based file format
allows automatic validation of submitted geometry models.
|
The
Gallery of Famous Surfaces by Xah Lee and the
3D-XplorMath Surface Gallery by Richard Palais are two
wonderful collections of classic and modern differential geometric
surfaces. Most of the examples include detailed explanations on the
mathematical background, additional to the interactive viewing
experience.

JSwallow by Biomed Software Tübingen uses JavaView to display the peristaltic wave in the esophagus during swallows, as recorded by high-resolution manometry with 32 pressure sensors arranged in a catheter. It can be used as a diagnostic tool to assess gastro-esophageal acid reflux (GERD, heartburn) and dysphagia (difficulty or discomfort in swallowing). The program was developed in cooperation with the Department of Gastroenterology of the UniversitätsSpital Zürich and is installed in the intranet of the hospital to visualize more than 6000 swallows. |
Function Plotter
is a web-service implemented by the Multimedia
Kommunikationssysteme GmbH in Hagen. The site uses a MuPAD server
for calculation and JavaView as a configurable online
display.

Honey Bees in an Observation Hive: Research study of the
population biology of honey bees at Rhodes University in
Grahamstown, South Africa. The JavaView algorithm for
computing discrete geodesics was applied to the computation of
geodesic distances in an observation hive between worker bees and
the queen.
|
Knot Plot Server computes Knots, Braids and unknotted
geometries. The Knot Server by Robert Scharein uses
JavaView for the online display of knots computed with
KnotPlot.
|
Auto-Opt
at the Frauenhofer Gesellschaft uses JavaView as
a visualization tool in the process of interactive design and
numerical optimization of automobiles.
|
Gallery of Surfaces is a collection of constant mean curvature
surfaces produced by Ian McIntosh at the University of York.
JavaView displays the output of experiments run using CMCLab
and MinLab.
|
Constant Mean Curvature Noids found by Nick Schmitt and computed
with Noid, a Java software package to compute n-noids,
constant mean curvature (CMC) genus-zero surfaces with
asymptotically Delaunay ends. Nick's applet uses the open API of
JavaView to integrate the viewer with the Noid package.
|
Polymake is a software package for discrete geometry and convex
polytopes which uses JavaView as its viewer.
|
AniKa is a JavaView based applet by Marcus Engel from
Erlangen to create and animate kaleidocycles. Kaleidocycles are
flexible chains of tetrahedra and were discussed in the book "M.C.
Escher Kaleidocycles" by Schattschneider/Walker. The flexible
polyhedra also appear in discrete versions of the smoke ring flow.
|
Geometry Unheard
Of combine mathematical music theory and geometry. The applets
by Thomas Noll and Mona Brand make use of the open API of JavaView
in combination with third-party sound toolkits.

Dissertation Online:
Research project founded by the German Research Foundation (DFG)
produced a reference online dissertation in Mathematics with
JavaView.
