Moving an avatar with tracking data is usually done with inverse kinematics. The next version of the Vizard 5 Beta will include a basic avatar IK library. Vizconnect, also included in the next Beta, will have a visual interface for using this IK and mapping trackers to avatar points. Currently the library works with up to 6 points; head, waist, hands, and feet. The result will be sufficient for many users needs.
