Treadmill , Optotrak & Vizard
We are trying to run Vizard for Optotrak in which the participant walk on the treadmill. The problem is since it's on a treadmill, on Vizard it shows it as going back & forth ( not moving forward) since the coordinates are not changing ( ir: you go from (0,0,1) to (0,0,2) even if you go 10K on treadmill). Is there way to fix this issue?

Use vizconnect to configure the viewpoint to move with optotrack data. Add a group tracker above the headtracker in the vizconnect scenegraph and update the group's position in the script that imports the vizconnect config file based on the treadmill speed. Take a look at all the vizconnect tutorials to get started if you're not familiar with vizconnect.

Thank you for your reply. I created group tracker in the vizconnect. I'm wondering how can we read treadmill speed to update my mainview position? Are you suggesting let's say treadmill speed is 2 MPH, should I update the position based on that?

I'm not sure how you would get the treadmill data in Vizard. Does the manufacturer provide a Python API? If so, you could use that to get the data into Vizard. Attached is an example that updates a group tracker every frame to move the viewpoint.

Hi Jeff,
what is unit for scale in vizard? m/s? |

Can you describe further the code you are referring to that's scaling the movement?

You sent me the simulated treadmill .. i'm wondering what's the unit of speed is so I can adjust with ours
TREADMILL_SPEED = .05 viz.add('sky_day.osgb') # Add ground model 20 times for i in range (20): viz.addChild('ground_grass.osgb', cache = viz.CACHE_CLONE, pos = [0,0.01,i+25]) groupTracker = vizconnect.getTracker('treadmill_node').getRaw() def updateGroup(): groupTracker.setPosition([0,0,TREADMILL_SPEED],viz.REL_LOCAL) vizact.onupdate(0,updateGroup) |

The following code allows you to specify the speed in meters per second:
Code:
# Speed in meters per second SPEED = 1 def updateGroup(): # Get the elapsed time since the previous frame and multiply that against the speed in m/s groupTracker.setPosition([0,0,SPEED * viz.getFrameElapsed()],viz.REL_LOCAL) vizact.onupdate(0,updateGroup) |
