Modular Agentic System for Scientific Visualization in Mixed Reality
Mixed reality (MR) enables immersive, intuitive engagement with scientific data. When paired with AI-driven assistants, it has the potential to transform traditional workflows. In this paper, we introduce a modular agentic architecture for scientific visualization in MR, designed to balance general-purpose flexibility with domain-specific extensibility. Our modular architecture supports composable tools, contextual reasoning, and dynamic task execution. We outline a three-layer design, domain module integration, and orchestration of multistep workflows. We demonstrate the system’s capabilities through use cases in biology and general-purpose scientific visualization, including protein interaction networks and remote ParaView-based rendering. The result is a flexible and extensible foundation for spatial scientific computing.
