Popis: Visual representation of events during the running of an experiment is one of the existing problems to be solved in modern high-energy physics experiments on particle collisions. Different HEP experiments use different approaches to solve this problem. For example, the ALICE and CBM experiments use the ROOT EVE OpenGL based visualization library. The LHC experiments, ATLAS and CMS use other OpenGL based packages. When web browsers began to support GPU processing to render graphics, the task of creating an event display as a web application became relevant. Unlike other technologies for working with 3D graphics (such as OpenGL and Direct3D) Web Graphics Library is designed for use in web pages and does not require the installation of specialized extensions or libraries. This means that the same application will run successfully on a wide variety of devices or platforms. This article describes the technologies and methods that were used to create a web based event display for the MPD experiment.
