<p class="MsoNormal">Yeh, Angle is typically what is used for WebGl on windows IIRC. So it is another option, in my case the angle support for hololens was not where/how I wanted it to be. But in the more general case the ES3 path though Angle is an option,
some window/event issues to handle but probably not too bad and ES3 is a fairly decent API that we already support in OpenGL2.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black">FYI. For a potential hololens app I needed to take a look at how hard it would be to add a DirectX11 backend to VTK. I progressed far enough to feel comfortable we could get 70%
or so of the core functionality working with a few weeks of effort. (I got far enough that the dragon was rendering with lighting, material properties, interactions, resizing, VBO/IBO/Shaders/Programs etc.). So should you ever have a customer/project that
requires DX11 and can cover another three weeks of work it is technically an option. My gitlab has the WIP topic.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
