To visualize any new entity, a visualization should be designed and programmed. Investigating approaches for programming new scientific visualizations, we come to the following idea: utilize CinemaScience format to describe 3D scenes. CinemaScience is developed for storing and visualizing supercomputer and physical modelling results, and differs with simplicity both for human and machine. It has a set of interesting features, for example it allows to specify dynamics in views dependent on parameters. However its current known applications are of 2D graphics, and in this paper we extend it for 3D.
It’s main idea is to treat Cinema artifacts as visual objects of explicit type. We successfully used the suggested approach in various visualization tasks, examples are presented in the paper. We developed the open-source web application that implements the suggested approach.
