Howdy,


We're interested in testing out VTK [1] visualization capabilities coupled with ARKit world tracking and scene understanding.


I found the documentation to build a custom rendering engine with Metal [2], but VTK rendering backend on mobile is OpenGL ES 3.0, which works great with GLKit [3] for non-AR apps.


Has anyone looked into this problem? Any suggestions to bridge a GLKView with ARKit?

Thanks.
