HepExplorer - next generation PAW using Iris Explorer ?
LHC++ identified NAG’s Iris Explorer as base data analysis and visualisation tool
Excellent graphics based on OpenGL, OpenInventor, MasterSuite etc.
Many modules to choose from, parallelism built in, module location choice
Exotic rendering, light sources, texture mapping etc.
But will it work for Joe Physicist?
- “Grandmother’s Knitting”
- No command mode
- Resource hungry
- Impedance mismatch with ODBMS
