Realtime data and NatNet

Post by jesse930 »

I'm using the Rigid Body toolkit to generate the location of one rigid body. I then stream that data using NatNet.
On the same PC I am running the NatNet client and I can receive the streaming data and display it on screen.
However after about two minutes I notice a lag between the motion of the rigid body and the displayed data.
Is there some data buffering occuring? Do I need to set up some handshaking?

You may be experiencing buffer buildup over time—I had this problem with NatNet. Try disabling "Multicast" or making sure the client is processing data in real-time thread priority. Also, check that the client application is processing fast enough so that it doesn't slow down over time!
