SciChart
SciChart is a company that provides advanced chart libraries for various platforms such as WPF, iOS, Android, and JavaScript.
History
SciChart was founded by Andrew Burnett-Thompson in March 2012. Its origins trace back to doctoral research initiated in 2003, which led to the development of a GPU-accelerated 2D/3D charting library.
Since its founding, SciChart has undergone several stages of development, including the launch of consultancy services, the addition of cross-platform support, and the introduction of SciChart.js for web-based applications.
The company's charting technology has been applied in a range of scientific and medical contexts. It has been used in the visualization of waveforms on nerve implants to assist in restoring natural walking ability in individuals with paralysis caused by spinal cord injuries. In 2019, the MirrorHR, developed using SciChart, was designed to monitor and help prevent epileptic seizures in children. The project won the Microsoft Hackathon that year. It was selected for nuclear fusion research by the Chinese government and the Hefei Institute of Physical Sciences. Its technology contributed to the analysis of superconductors via the Super X device and supported a world record of 403 seconds for stable fusion.
Researchers at the University of Illinois employed it to visualize large datasets of tumor images, contributing to reduced cancer screening times through the use of high-resolution medical imaging. NASA has integrated it into several projects, including real-time biological signal processing under the Streams initiative. The software is also being considered for deployment in the Artemis missions from the Moon to Mars.
SciChart supports real-time rendering of millions of data points in 2D and 3D charts for WPF, Web, iOS macOS, and Android. It also supports React.js charts and Avalonia XPF charts.
