Open3d: Open3d is embedded in PyQt for visualization

[JavaAiNiU]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm always frustrated when I want to embed visual interfaces in pyqt and other back ends, I don't see any good way to do that with apps like vispy.

Describe the solution you'd like
I feel that the ability to embed visual interfaces into backends such as PyQt is very useful for developing GUI applications with open3d.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Now I'm trying to use mayavi embedded in GUI applications instead of open3d visualization.

Sorry,I did not solve.Visualization now uses open3d's own visualization functions.

Hi there,
open3d has its own visualisation functions but QT is ahead of things here and it would be nice if we could export a widget straight to PyQt. Same way as VTK can.
Thanks

Still nothing on this??

ok，tks.

Forget about PyQT and VTK. We have created our own GUI module, natively integrated with Open3D and with python wrappers. This is coming out as part of Open3D 0.11, expected in September. I know it took a while, but it is almost here. In fact, if you are curious you can play with master. You will find a few examples like vis-gui.py.

0.11 has been released and has python bindings for using the new rendering system. It comes with several examples, with examples/python/gui/vis-gui.py being the most full-featured. Mixing user interface elements and OpenGL has never been a simple process, and as a team we decided to use package Dear ImGUI into our own GUI to minimize external dependencies. Furthermore, the rendering library we are using, Filament, prefers to drawing directly into a native window via a separate thread. Unfortunately, this means that we cannot offer Qt support. If Qt is a requirement for you, you can use the Open3D algorithms and use a rendering library that supports Qt to do the rendering. Otherwise, our intention for our GUI library is that it should be a reasonably full-featured GUI toolkit, so if there is something that you are unable to do with it, please let us know.
