What’s New in VTK v9.6
An overview of the latest capabilities and improvements in the Visualization Toolkit (VTK), including web-based 3D visualization, AI integration, and performance optimizations.
This webinar provides a practical introduction to the latest release of the Visualization Toolkit (VTK) and highlights new features designed to support modern visualization workflows across research, engineering, and application development.
VTK is widely used for building advanced visualization systems across domains such as scientific computing, engineering analysis, and medical imaging. The latest release, VTK v9.6.0, introduces several important capabilities that help developers build more scalable applications, integrate AI inference into visualization pipelines, and connect VTK with modern web and 3D content ecosystems. This session will demonstrate how these new capabilities enable more powerful and flexible visualization workflows for developers and researchers.
In this webinar, we’ll demonstrate:
- Improvements to VTK’s WebAssembly port that enable high-performance 3D visualization web applications written in C++.
- The new vtkONNXInference filter, which allows AI models to run directly within a VTK pipeline for real-time data analysis.
- Performance optimizations to vtkObserver operations that improve scalability in large visualization applications.
- The vtkUSDExporter, which enables integration with modern 3D content creation workflows.
You’ll also hear from the VTK development team about the goals of this release, how these improvements impact developers building visualization systems today, and what they enable for the future of web-based and AI-enabled visualization workflows.
There will also be time set aside for live Q&A with the presenters.
