google colab interactive_demo error

[shahik]

Hi,
Congratulations & thanks for this paper! I am running interactive_demo on colab and getting non-stop error

ERROR: ImGui_ImplOpenGL3_CreateDeviceObjects: failed to compile fragment shader! ERROR: ImGui_ImplOpenGL3_CreateDeviceObjects: failed to link shader program! ERROR: ImGui_ImplOpenGL3_CreateDeviceObjects: failed to compile vertex shader! ERROR: ImGui_ImplOpenGL3_CreateDeviceObjects: failed to compile fragment shader! ERROR: ImGui_ImplOpenGL3_CreateDeviceObjects: failed to link shader program! ERROR: ImGui_ImplOpenGL3_CreateDeviceObjects: failed to compile vertex shader! ERROR: ImGui_ImplOpenGL3_CreateDeviceObjects: failed to compile fragment shader!
Any solution?
Greetings!

I also got the same error connecting through SSH. The error didn't happen when run locally. The bimpy package probably needs to connect to a display to work.

Yes, bimpy needs system X to be installed. It won't work on headless machines.
You still can create a colab demo, by removing all dependencies on bimpy and display images statically, but then it won't be interactive.

I'll work on making a remote version of bimpy that would allow interacting with it through browser in the nearest future.
