VTK's current rendering code is unlikely to work as they target GL
2.1+ translation on the desktop as far as I know. VES seems much more
likely to work with its GL ES code, the most notable demo I am aware
of is http://www.unrealengine.com/html5/ where they graphics and
interaction seem very smooth. I would love to get more details on what
was tried/didn't work with VES - I will try to get together with
Aashish.
