Reading VRPN Stream using python (Rigid Body Tracking)

[cbowen12345]

I am trying to read the data stream from Rigid Body Tracker with my python application for some realtime usage with VPRN. Does anyone have sample python code (that you are willing to share) allowing Python to stream the VRPN data.

I am working on a device to capture discrete locations of a rigid body(3D) in a previously calibrated volume. The application is for medical research and I am not a C programmer.

Thanks for any assistance.

So, I know this is very old -- did you ever get an answer to this?

The VRPN standard is open, and packets can be directly deconstructed if necessary. There's some good information here you may be able to make some use of, or at least use as a starting point.
