Real-time Web Viewer #630

Description

@bsyh

Hello Brax community,

This post presents a prototype for a real-time, web-based visualizer for Brax training, developed as part of Google Summer of Code 2025. This work aims to address the long-standing request for a live visualization feature, as discussed in issues #47 and #107.

Demo

Key Features

  • Real-time Streaming: Renders Brax environment states during training.
  • Web-based: Access the viewer from any web browser, perfect for remote headless training setups.
  • JAX-compatible: Designed for minimal impact on training performance (currently optimized for PPO).
  • Lightweight: Built with standard dependencies.
  • Interactive Controls: Toggle rendering on the fly from the web interface to save compute resources.
  • Distributed Architecture: The viewer server runs as an independent process from the training script.
