Hello Fabian,

Almost all software that uses 3D graphics, is based on either OpenGL or 
DirectX. DirectX is a Microsoft product and is only available for PCs, 
which use ms-windows. Most games are written using DirectX. OpenGL is 
open source and supports many operating systems. The VTK developers 
have chosen for OpenGL, because VTK is also open source, and they 
wanted to support different platforms. 

So, if games are working OK, and VTK not, the first thing I would do is 
to verify whether the software for your glasses also supports OpenGL.
