Research direction

Start with the PCLVisualizer tutorial and reproduce the Windows exceptions described in the two linked pcl-users threads. Compare the reported normals-visualization and vtkOpenGLBufferObject failures, then confirm the tutorial works on Windows without those exceptions; the issue does not name a source file or test.
