WorldViz User Forum - In there a way in Vizconnect to allow user to select between different input devices

Checking to see if there is a way in Vizconnect to allow the user to select controlling the MainView with either a Joystick, a tracker, a Kinect, keyboard/mouse or any other input device?

I can see how to do it using viz.link in the example code below where I have allow the user to choose between a Joystick or Keyboard Tracker using keys on the keyboard to change which controls the MainView. Just checking to see if there is a way to do this using Vizconnect?

Code:

import sys

import viz

import vizact

import vizconfig

import vizcam



viz.setMultiSample(4)

viz.fov(60)

viz.go()



import vizinfo

vizinfo.InfoPanel()



# Setup keyboard/mouse tracker

keyboard_tracker = vizcam.addWalkNavigate(moveScale=2.0)

keyboard_tracker.setPosition([0,1.8,0])



# Get list of joystick device information

dinput = viz.add('DirectInput.dle')

devices = dinput.getJoystickDevices()



# Exit if no joystick detected

if not devices:

        sys.exit('No joystick devices connected')



# If there is more than one device, then display selection dialog

if len(devices) > 1:

        selected = viz.choose('Select joystick device', [ d.productName for d in devices ])

else:

        selected = 0



# Connect to selected device

joy = dinput.addJoystick(devices[selected])

if not joy:

        sys.exit('Failed to connect to joystick')



# Set dead zone threshold so small movements of joystick are ignored

joy.setDeadZone(0.2)



# Display joystick information in config window

vizconfig.register(joy)

vizconfig.getConfigWindow().setWindowVisible(True)



# Create node for applying joystick movement and link to main view

joystick_node = viz.addGroup(pos=(0,1.8,0))

viz.link(joystick_node, viz.MainView)



# Use joystick axes to move joystick node

# Horizontal (X) axis controls yaw

# Vertical (Y) axis controls position

MOVE_SPEED = 5.0

TURN_SPEED = 90.0

def UpdateJoystickMovement():

        e = viz.elapsed()

        x,y,z = joy.getPosition()

        joystick_node.setEuler([x * TURN_SPEED * e, 0, 0], viz.REL_LOCAL)

        joystick_node.setPosition([0, 0, y * MOVE_SPEED * viz.getFrameElapsed()], viz.REL_LOCAL)

vizact.ontimer(0, UpdateJoystickMovement)



# Reset joystick when joystick button 0 is pressed

def ResetPosition():

        joystick_node.setPosition([0,1.8,0])

        joystick_node.setEuler([0,0,0])

vizact.onsensordown(joy, 0, ResetPosition)



# Add environment

viz.addChild('maze.osgb')



def linkJoystick():

        viz.link(joystick_node, viz.MainView)



vizact.onkeydown('j', linkJoystick)



def linkKeyboard():

        viz.link(keyboard_tracker,viz.MainView)

        viz.mouse.setVisible(False)



vizact.onkeydown('k', linkKeyboard)

thank you
