[AG-TECH] Data display on AG?

[Randy Groves]

Is there any work being done in the AG community (or elsewhere) to 
integrate data display into the AG?  What I mean is the ability to include 
somewhat arbitrary output from programs of interest to collaborators.  For 
instance, in our case, our engineers probably would want the capability to 
display and manipulate a CATIA drawing as part of a collaboration.  The 
results of a wind tunnel test might be part of another 
collaboration.  Viewing the real-time dynamics of airflow over a wing.  I 
have to admit a large amount of ignorance in this field.  Is VNC our only 
answer at this point?

And whatever solutions present themselves have to take into account the 
necessity for security.  Either the pipe or the application needs to 
provide a secure level of encryption.

Thanks in advance for any pointers!!
