Next meeting, @Francois_Mazen, @Lucas_Givord and myself would like to have a deep dive look into @pieper’s Slicer Live WebGPU implementation.

Our goal is to see what would be required on VTK’s side / WebGPU backend to have the same type of rendering moving forward.

FYI: @RafaelPalomar & @drouin-simon

Notes from the meeting:

Discussions

A look at SlicerLive’s WebGPU and discussion of VTK

VTK, WebGPU, and compute shader capabilities

(deep discussion on using toolkits vs direct low level programming when using AI agents…)

macOS arm64 builds

  • recoil.kitware.com has been setup for arm64 builds
  • SlicerPreview - Build Summary
  • Qt 6.11.1 build
  • only blocking issue is the package manager has hardcoded arch options, so the client and server needed to be updated before packages can be hosted on the server.
