I have updated the README instructions for rendering BioDepVis remotely using TurboVNC and VirtualGL. Currently, I can stream BioDepVis from a remote machine in the FCT lab, but it is very slow, and when I try to stream from Palmetto I get the following messages:

[VGL] WARNING: The OpenGL rendering context obtained on X display
[VGL]    :0 is indirect, which may cause performance to suffer.
[VGL]    If :0 is a local X display, then the framebuffer device
[VGL]    permissions may be set incorrectly.

I'm not very familiar with OpenGL or VirtualGL so for now I leave this error log until we can debug it.

BioDepVis can now be run from Palmetto, now that some additional libraries were installed. Pending the addition of the Qt/5.9.2 module (momentarily), anyone will be able to build and run BioDepVis on Palmetto through a VNC server/client.
