VES/ParaView Mobile Remote Control

The ParaView Mobile Remote Control allows users to view the ParaView scene and control the camera from a mobile device. The remote control uses a plugin for the ParaView desktop application, and an app for a mobile device.

Plugin for ParaView

The mobile remote control plugin is bundled with ParaView v3.981. To use the plugin, open ParaView and then go to the Tools menu and choose Manage Plugins.... The MobileRemoteControl plugin will appear in the list of plugins. Select it and choose Load Selected. When the plugin is loaded, a dock panel will appear in the ParaView user interface. The visibility of the dock panel can be toggled using the View menu.
