tracking position of cursor

I have a four wall CAVE system with four Flock of Birds trackers using trackd. I am able to start the tracking system using: tracker = viz.add('trackd.dls') and viz.tracker(). For some reason, the system is only tracking the sensor corresponding to the user's head position. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing because now I have a head tracked virtual environment.

However, I would still like to be able to use more than one sensor.

I want to attach one of the sensors to a gamepad device and have a virtual cursor that will allow me to interact with objects in the environment. I have tried using the tracker.get() command but have not been having any luck.

Thanks in advance for the help

Searched the Vizard help for Trackd plug-in:

http://www.worldviz.com/vizhelp/trackd_plug-in.htm

We have looked for help in Vizard's help menu prior to the post, but still had no luck. Any other suggestions?

To add more sensors, methinks you add the trackd.dls again. From the help:

Code:

PORT_TRACKD = 1000

head = viz.add('trackd.dls')

hand = viz.add('trackd.dls')
