There were exactly 20 backers of the proposed kickstarter project:<br>
<br>

<br>
Since then, there have been perhaps 10-20 inquiries about the future of ActiViz on the VTK mailing lists.<br>
<br>
If there is sufficient interest, I would be willing to try again, this time skipping VTK 5.10 and going directly to VTK 6 / master.<br>
<br>
Reply with a +1 or contact me directly if you'd like to discuss the future of ActiViz.<br>
<br>
(What I'd really like is a team of developers to learn how it works who really really want to carry it into the future..... It cannot succeed as a 1-man project. At least not if I'm supposed to be the 1-man.)<br>

Let me know,<br>
