NexusVIS: A distributed visualization toolkit for mobile applications

Many mobile pervasive applications need to visualize information about the user´s geographic surroundings combined with data from sensors, which determine the user´s context. We demonstrate NexusVIS, a distributed visualization toolkit for mobile applications. By building upon an existing data stream processing system we enable applications to define distributed visualization processes as continuous queries. This allows applications to define visualization semantics descriptively. Moreover, NexusVIS is capable of adapting the visual query at runtime, and thus allows to navigate in the visualized scene both automatically and manually through user control.
