Hello, when I was working on web-based 3D visualization of medical images, I used vtkremoteview to display images from the backend on a web page. I’m thinking about whether I can use some widgets of vtk.js to sketch, measure, and other functions on the web page.

You can mix both: remote rendering + local rendering.
You can look at the [ImageStream example](https://github.com/Kitware/vtk-js/tree/master/Sources/IO/Core/ImageStream/example).
Please note that VTK.js does not have access to the depth buffer of the remote rendering, hence you may not rely on hardware picking.
