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.

Connecting to ParaView from KiwiViewer for iOS

The ParaView mobile remote control is a feature in KiwiViewer v2.0 for iOS.

Connecting to ParaView from KiwiViewer for Android

The version of KiwiViewer that is currently available in the Google Play Store does not have the ParaView mobile remote control feature. In the meantime, you can download a version of KiwiViewer that features the mobile remote control from the KiwiViewer packages.
