Wavelet Applications within the WP

Since current WWW browsers cannot display wavelet data directly, our short-term WP plan is to develop a helper-application, most likely communicating with a browser via CCI. This will allow the helper-application to communicate further image enhancement requests back to the browser. The browser can then relay that request (in the context of its session state) back to the image (HTTP) server, receive the update information, and pass it back to the helper-application, which then incorporates the new data into its image. While this is not as general a solution as having the application run directly in the browser, it allows us to make performance modifications to the helper-application which might not be possible in an interpreted language like HotJava.
