[vtkusers] vtkImagePlaneWidget in a web browser

[Marco Sambin]

Dear VTK experts,

currently I have a VTK-based Java application where I use
vtkImagePlaneWidget (actually, 3 of them) to interactively reslice a volume
represented by a vtkImageData instance.
Everything works fine within my Java application.

Now, the question is, which options do I have if I wanted to obtain the
same view and interactive reslicing functionalities within a web browser?
Will the ParaViewWeb library be a starting point to implement this
requirement, or it is designed for a different purpose?

Of course, it will be acceptable for my needs to have a VTK-based back-end
(represented for instance by a VTK-based, Java-based, server-side
application), making some work on behalf of the web client, and then
presenting its results to the web client. However, the browser-based GUI
will need to be interactive, in a very similar way as my Java application:
user should be able to interactively move and rotate the reslice planes
(i.e., the vtkImagePlaneWidgets) in a 3D scene, and the views (resliced
images) shall update accordingly.

Any hint about the feasibility of this requirement, and any pointer about a
starting point will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance and best regards,

Marco Sambin
