[fitsbits] Visualization in Browsers using VisAD

[Bill Hibbard]

The real solution for visualization in browsers will occur
when Java-enabled browsers run JDK 1.2 (or higher) and Java3D.  
Note that Netscape 6.0 supports JDK 1.3 but requires a plug-in
for Java3D.

In order to support visualization in browsers, we have added
the visad.browser package to VisAD for connecting applets 
written in JDK 1.1 to servers running JDK 1.2 and Java3D.  
This is described on the VisAD web page at:

  http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~billh/visad.html

VisAD is freely available including source code, 
documentation and example applications.

Cheers,
