[Tracking issue] Next dev push

[kephale]

We're planning on doing a sciview push in early 2025, this issue is for collecting TODOs based on current needs:

• Make input handling more robust w/ VR: toggleVRRendering causes camera to lose arcball logic and inputhandler to lose custom keybindings #612
• Support for fixed/specified resolutions to better support VR: Support window dimension setters and automatic dimension adjustment on toggleVRRendering #616
• Check platform compatibility (e.g. linux arm64 issue)
• Check voxelization issue/update to imglib2-mesh

[smlpt]

proper issue for the second point: #616

[smlpt]

#606
I think this is still also a valid issue.
Basically, clicking on a volume in the inspector can cause significant lag when the volume is large, and it logs "Running extension SwingNodeProperties". Might be related to histogram recalculation because it depends on volume size.

[smlpt]

Not a dealbreaker (so I won't add it to the list), but an inconvenience for average users (and should be fixed for 1.0): #553

[smlpt]

Whats the status of this?

[kephale]

It seems like the only momentum we had was me this time 😅 and there hasn't been much demand from folks to work on these.

I'm happy to dig in though! Where are you most critically blocked @smlpt ?

Luckily none of these are actually blocking, but since we now published a release of my mastodon-sciview bridge (https://arxiv.org/abs/2505.03440) it would be great if things were a little more stable. Especially The first two issues in the list are important for that.
I'm not as familiar with the sciview code as you, but I'm happy to help out where I can.

[kephale]

Cool, the catch is that I don't have VR equipment for testing 😅 I'm happy to trust your tests though. What should the plan be?

#616 seems more or less straighforward.

#612 might not be bad and maybe I can test it without VR equipment just by API calls.

I'm traveling now, but could check next week (i might need a reminder poke).

[smlpt]

Alright, no worries. About #612, you might be able to comment out the part where sciview looks for an actual HMD and just use the part where it rebuilds the renderer to stereoscopic.

[kephale]

will do! in Barcelona right now, but i'll follow up when i get back to the States

[kephale]

err actually, how does kephale#1 look to you @smlpt ?

[smlpt]

@kephale sooo, with my fix resolving #612, how should I treat the github issue? Tie it to the controller tracking branch so it gets closed with the PR? Or cherrypick and create a new branch and PR just for it?

And about the resolution setter/getter, could you maybe look into that again?

[kephale]

I'm happy tying it to the controller tracking branch.

Yeah I can check the resolution getter/setter but I'm on vacation/traveling for the next couple of weeks. Please feel free to poke me then if I haven't dealt with it by then
