[Paraview] Using VR-Style input devices

[Christian Richter]

Hi Aashish,

I'm very interested in getting this to work, please point me to the 
right place in the code.

Do you know why the Paraview-own VTK does not support Tdx and does not 
use it ? (the option is there in the cmake but than something is 
missing, because it does not ask for VTK_TDX_INCLUDE_PATH and that's why 
I think compilation breaks)
http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/3DConnexion_Devices_Support

I was able to get the TDx TestApp to work with an extern build of VTK 
and hoped it would be straightforward to use ist in Paraview -- but i 
gave up at this point.

Thank you,
Christian
