    Currently, 3D rendering is accessible within Web browsers through open standards such as WebGL, X3D, and X3DOM -- At the same time, there is wealth of mature desktop software which comprises algorithms, data structures, user interfaces, databases, etc -- It is a challenge to reuse such desktop software using the Web visualization resources -- In response to this challenge, this article presents a novel framework, called ReWeb3D, which minimizes the redevelopment for migration of existing 3D applications to the Web -- The redeployed application runs on a Web server -- ReWeb3D captures lowlevel graphic calls including geometry, texture, and shader programs -- The captured content is then served as a WebGLenabled web page that conveys full interactivity to the client -- By splitting the graphics pipeline between client and server, the workload can be balanced, and highlevel implementation details and 3D content are hidden -- The feasibility of ReWeb3D has been tested with applications which use OpenSceneGraph as rendering platform -- The approach shows good results for applications with large data sets (e.g. geodata), but is less suited for applications intensive in animations (e.g. games)
