Using TrackIR 5 to get raw data (C++)

[seniorproj]

We are a senior project group that are using the TrackIR5 to detect head motion and we need to drive the data that comes in to be compatiable with c++ , so far we tried the samplpe program on the optitrack and it seems that we can not simply get any command line out of it. At this point we are not sure what we have to do to simply get some RAW DATA from the C++ that only shows the position ( just an output with position vectors or ingeters or...)


please help
Thank you

Which sample applications have you tried?

Are you trying to capture 6DOF tracking data from a Vector Clip or 2D data from bright objects detected by the TrackIR 5 camera?


Note: The TrackClip Pro is not supported by the OptiTrack SDK.

Thank you for your response. we are using OptiTrack SDK to get 6DOF tracking data of the vector clip. The sample program (Optitrack sample app) seems to work fine and gives exactly the type of data we need. Our problem is trying to extract and manipulate the data with our own C++ code, not using the GUI. The pointers to the data we want seem to be accessable at around line 430 of CameraDlg.cpp. We are trying to trace back through the code and determine how to write a program that simeply accesses the smoothed data values and outputs them to the std output. We were wondering if there is a simple way to do this.
