[vtk-developers] Virtual Reality topic

[Ken Martin]

There is a largish Virtual Reality topic in testing if someone wants to
review it.

https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/merge_requests/2487

The test failures are due to an unrelated recent merge to master. The basic
gist of the change is

Add floor option to show a floor

completely rework the matrix and coordinate code to be cleaner and use
standard VTK conventions (right handed)

add support for a dashboard overlay with options to subclass and support
for saving/loading camera poses and adjusting motion factors and scale
factors.

Improve the resetcameraclippingrange to work better for VR

change how eye position is handled so that VolumeRendering will work
properly

Handle the case where people make the cubes invisible which results in a
308 error on loading the model.

Add support for the user to specify the mapping of physical coordinates
into world coordinate. Allows for different view up vectors other than the
old code which was hard coded to Y.

Add middle mouse support mapped to the grip button.

Add some support for a hardware clipping plane.
