Hi,
I would like to know if it would be possible to get World space coordinates with a TrackIR camera while using the Camera SDK.
This would be for knowing world-coordinates movement and rotation without having the camera just in front, to then have more than one TrackIR camera in more angles to avoid deadzones with them. If needed, I could know the position and rotation of the camera in world space. I don't know if that's the best setup to achieve that goal, but that's what I have.
To make it clear, an example would be that having the camera at (-40, 0, 50) from my head and rotated to focus it, if I move towards the screen (which is half a meter in front of me) like 10 cm, I should get (0,0,10) without changing rotations.
Many thanks in advance.

Re: TrackIR coordinates to world coordinates
Hi Jilllian,
Thanks for your response.
I guess that what I thought is not the common thing to try. I just wondered if there was any formula or matrix for changing coordinates spaces that I could make to make that change. To put in context, I'm using C++ with the Optitrack Camera SDK and I receive the 6 DOF.
If any dev knows anything, I would be really grateful.
Then, I imagine that synchronizing two or more cameras would be even harder to do.
Anyways, thanks for the post redirection.
