Vizard with Vuzix VR920 headset

[Phil]

Hi,

Does anyone know how I can get the head tracking on the VR920 headset, working with Vizard ?

I am a beginner on Vizard so I've no idea if this is a very simple and obvious thing or impossible !

Any help would be much appreciated.

regards.

Phil

I believe the VR920 and the Icuiti are the same device. If so, you can use our Icuiti plugin that ships with Vizard. Here is some sample code that will connect to the HMD and link the orientation data to the viewpoint:

import viz
viz.go()

#Add icuiti sensor
icuiti = viz.add('icuiti.dls')

#Link sensor to viewpoint
viz.link(icuiti,viz.MainView)

I can confirm the icuiti dls works for the vuzix vr920. Our vuzix even has the icuiti logo.

hi i'm having trouble with vuzix vr920, i don't know if something change because im trying to load icuiti plugin and it tells me this error:

** Loading hmd_vuzix.py
************************************************** ****************
** ERROR: Failed to load plug-in: 'icuiti.dls'
** ERROR: Link failed (source linkable is invalid)
Loading File: gallery.ive
** Load Time: 0.80 seconds

my code is this one:

import viz
viz.go()

#Add icuiti sensor
icuiti = viz.add('icuiti.dls')

#Link sensor to viewpoint
viz.link(icuiti,viz.MainView)

viz.add("gallery.ive")

PD. I'm using vizard 3.18

Are you also running any Vuzix software that connects to the sensor?

[Darkmax]

i try running the vuzix vr manager with vizard and also just vizard

[Darkmax]

i also tried the vuzix applications and it works, but when i tried with vizard doesn't work

i resolved the problem, the new driver of vuzix 3.07 doesn't work so i tried a old version(2.4) that i download from vuzix site, and it's working.

so i dont know, if your planning to release a new driver to work with the new vuzix driver?
