Hi everybody,
this is my first posting - since I need to clarify a rather general question concerning these "Sensor Plugins" and Vizard editions; but let me shortly explain why I ask in this way:
I'm a psychology student with little programming experience (and none whatsoever when it comes to peripheral I/O), however for my bachelor's thesis I need to program a (VERY basic) virtual reality... well the guys from a university collaborating in the project recommended Vizard
...
A mandatory part of the VR would be the integration of a custom-made device, most probably connected to the
serial or USB port, which continuously has to get the (virtual camera's) heading information... i.e. based on the heading info, certain commands/bytes continuously have to be issued through the interface in real time.
What I need to know is whether this functionality would be covered in Vizard's Lite-Edition. My university normally has nothing to do with VRs, and since will not spend the money for a full-fledged license only for my convenience ;(
However I have to have a testing environment at home - the real experiments will be done elsewhere with full licensed software (no watermarks etc
)
I'm mostly worried about this so-called
Plug-in SDK, which is
not contained in the
Lite-package... could this maybe be necessary for my plans?
I really hope you can answer my question already based on this rather fuzzy description (if not, please let me know!), and that the answer is trivial and moreover to be answered with "yes, you can (do it with Lite)!"
.
Cheers,
