A Modular Approach for Creating Web Applications with 3D Geology Using React and X3DOM

Abstract

The thesis details the work for creating a web application that allows a user to see a visualization for geological data like topography, seismic data and well measurements from the subsurface. This application uses the JavaScript web library React, and the X3DOM framework. It is built upon a previously built application using the JavaScript framework Angular instead of React, which had led to some issues. By creating the application using the React library the thesis aims to avoid these issues, and develop a more modular structure. In addition, the work in this thesis will try to further develop new and improve existing functionalities such as navigation and possibility to toggle visualization of element.
