Importing Vicon Tracker Data

[Jeff]

The vicon plug-in works with a protocol used by earlier versions of Tracker. You should be able to use vrpn to read body data from tracker in Vizard once you specify the correct VRPN source.

import viz
import vizact
import vizshape

viz.go()

VRPN_SOURCE = 'Tracker0@localhost'

viz.move([0,-1,-5])

axes = vizshape.addAxes(length=0.5)

vrpn = viz.add('vrpn7.dle')
headtracker = vrpn.addTracker(VRPN_SOURCE)
headtracker.swapPos([-1,3,-2])

viz.link(headtracker,axes)

def showData():
	print headtracker.getPosition()
	print headtracker.getEuler()
	
vizact.ontimer(1,showData)

Hello Jeff,

thank your for your reply. First I used your code with 'Tracker0@192.168.10.1'. I thought Tracer0 referes to Vicon Tracker. Finally I tried to Import one Object I'm tracking with Tracker called Flasche (=bottle) instead of Tracker0. Now it works well.

So I have to Import every object I want to use, separately?

Code:

import viz
import vizact
import vizshape

viz.go()


VRPN_SOURCE = 'Flasche@192.168.10.1'
scene = viz.addChild('dojo.osgb')
viz.move([0,-1,-5])

axes = vizshape.addAxes(length=0.5)

vrpn = viz.add('vrpn7.dle')
flasche = vrpn.addTracker(VRPN_SOURCE)
flasche.swapPos([-1,3,-2])

viz.link(flasche,axes)

def showData():
print flasche.getPosition()
print flasche.getEuler()

vizact.ontimer(1,showData)



Thank you very much!
