[vtk-developers] Quad Buffer Stereo with Headtracking and OpenGL

[Aashish Chaudhary]

Hi Iven,

We already have a code for it in ParaView. Actually most of the classes are
VTK classes so in theory we can move them to VTK. If this sounds
interesting to you let me know and I can help you with the code.
