// .NAME vtkInteractionDeviceManager
// .SECTION Description
// vtkInteractionDeviceManager is a class that handles creation of 
// platform-specific subclasses of vtkRenderWindowInteractor that can 
// interface with external devices for interaction.  Examples include
// multi-touch interfaces and various devices supported by the 
// Virtual Reality Peripheral Network (VRPN: 
// http://www.cs.unc.edu/Research/vrpn/).
