    Vis5d is an interactive data visualization and interrogation program. The ‘5’ in Vis5d refers to five dimensions: three spatial dimensions, time, and variables; multiple variables can be visualized simultaneously.
    Any 3D data can be visualized with Vis5d although it was designed to visualize gridded numerical model data. If you can get your data into 3D floating point arrays, you can visualize it with Vis5d.
    Vis5d was developed at SSEC by Bill Hibbard, now retired, and development on the original Vis5d code has ceased. However, Bill released the source code of Vis5d 5.2 under the GPL, and a community-driven version of Vis5d now exists called Vis5d+. However, development on Vis5d+ has not occurred since 2002.
