Question about Powerwall rendering based on vtk

Support
1

I’m wondering what are current practical solutions to use vtk render to support the Powerwall(Powerwall - Wikipedia). Each process will start a vtk rendering window and render specific region of object according to the position of the display.

Thanks,
Zhe

Hello, I think tiled rendering in VTK will help you.
