I don't think enough people care about this specific project to make a
kickstarter worthwhile. The intersection of people who use VirtualGL
and people who use Android devices is probably very small. It's more
likely that this funding would come from a company who sees a potential
for simplifying or expanding its remote display infrastructure using
Android devices. I suspect I'd have a much easier time securing funding
for an iOS viewer, but unfortunately, that's a non-starter due to the
fact that the iOS App Store doesn't allow GPL-licensed code.
Actually alot of projects use and depend on VirtualGL. I think the
intersection of GPL apps that could connect to it on Android. You would get
alot more funding then you think. The user supported pro version of bvnc is
a good example with 1-5k purchases at 5 bucks a pop. I have compiled it on
armhf running custom ubuntu 14.04 rom I made for one of my droid boxes to
dualboot ubuntu and used the oracle jre and it blew away everything on arm
system.
