vjVTK: a toolkit for interactive visualization in Virtual Reality
Kristopher J. Blom · 2006
vjVTK is a small toolkit enabling the use of the Visualization ToolKit (VTK) native ly within the VRJuggler Virtual Reality framework. The toolkit enables a departure from the traditional v isualization calculation-conversionimmersive viewing cycle. vjVTK leverages the OpenGL capabilities of VTK to a llow it to run as a native graphics generation tool within the VRJuggler framework. This removes the need for offline visualization generation and format conversion. Most importantly, vjVTK introduces the ability to interactiv ely change the visualization, exploiting VTK’s full capabilities and providing researchers with a more power ful tool.
