Low Cost VR Device Drivers

Hi Daniel,

I'm in the same boat as you. I'm actually working with the TrackIR 5, but it only seems to be a slight upgrade in hardware compared to the TrackIR 4, otherwise pretty much exactly the same. I'm still trying to find a solution, but haven't gotten any concrete or detailed responses on here yet, and am not having much success trying to figure something out on my own. I'm working with a C++ programmer in our lab to try and write our own back-end VRPN program which will take the data from the TrackIR and put it into that standard format for Vizard to understand. If we're able to figure it out, I'll see if I'm allowed to post our results. In the meantime, if anybody else reading this has a sure-fire way of connecting the NaturalPoint hardware into Vizard, I'd love to hear how you managed it.
