[Ves] Bug in computeDisplayToWorld (on iOS)?

[Aashish Chaudhary]

Hi Thomas,

A quick look at the code does not tell me something obvious. However, the
implementation is bit different than what I recently did for another
project. You can look at the ves library tests and update it with your code
and then send it to us?

We will have a look at it soon.
