Is there any methods to use trackir camera in OS X?

[cnsla]

Dear all,
I am a psychophysiologist conducting behavioral experiments within Mac platform for various reasons.

The problem of unwanted head motion is always a headache in my research, and I was fascinated to TrackIR's 6dof tracking function.

However, I can't find any examples or tutorials for adopting TrackIR to OS X environments.

I found one (Linux-IR), but it seems to use TrackIR as camera. (Right? If I am wrong, please let me know.)

If the board inside the TrackIR calculate the head movements, is there any way to just get the raw values(of 6dof) continously in unix system?

Thanks.

Hello,

Here are a few possible solutions:

-Use the TIR client SDK and write a repeater that forwards the 6DOF to a linux box over UDP.
-Use the Camera SDK and write a repeater that forwards data over UDP

The NatNet SDK has a simple repeater as an example.

Hello,

I also wanted to note that these workarounds still require a PC for the 6 DOF calculations. The workaround I am prescribing is for a streaming pipeline from the TrackIR software, which is running on a PC.

Please let us know if you have additional questions.
