HMD and Vicon

[elpetto]

Hi guys,
if have the follwing issue:
I want to let a person move in the virtual Reality with a HMD, it has a build in Tracker. So it sends the Tracking data to Vizard and it all works perfectly, I can look around in the environment. But What I also want is that the person moves in the environment with the help of the Vicon data. So I just want the HMD for 'looking around' and the Vicon data to be able to move in different directions.
The Vicon tracking works, the data comes in and I can walk around if I'm doing it without the HMD. So it is not a setup problem, more a combination problem...

So far I worked out this:

" [...]
link = viz.link (Vicon, viz.MainView)
link.preEuler([90,0,90])

hmd = oculus.Rift()
sensor = hmd.getSensor()
viz.link(hmd.getSensor(), viz.MainView)
[...]"

I think the problem is that I kind of overwrite the viz.MainView.



Thanks for your help :)

You can use the viz.mergeLinkable command:
#Create a 6DOF tracker by merging position data from vicon with
#orientation data from oculus
headTracker = viz.mergeLinkable(posTracker,oriTracker)

#Link viz.MainView with headTracker
viz.link(headTracker, viz.MainView)
