vizconnect getMovementScale

[fivel_lab]

Hello
We are trying to use vizconnect's <WrappedAvatar>.setMovementScale() but we don't see any changes in the behavior of the avatar when it is moving. The vizconnect configuration uses Microsoft Kinect/FAAST as a tracker.

I have confirmed that I can change the movement scale VALUES:

SCALE = .1
myAvatar = vizconnect.getAvatar()
print 'Original movement scale: ' , myAvatar.getMovementScale()
myAvatar.setMovementScale([SCALE , SCALE , SCALE ])
print 'New movement scale: ' , myAvatar.getMovementScale()

but like I said above, this does not appear to do anything to the movement of the avatar. I've used values of SCALE as low as 1e-23 and as high as 10000, but the rendered movement seems identical no matter what the value is!

What does this method do, exactly? Am I missing some critical step to get it to work? Thank you!

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
