new project

Hello friends!!
I try to do a new project that is calculate the position in "my world" of objects (my world is is like a box). I put 2 cameras optitrack in the coner left and right, and both have a 45 degrees. And the object has a trackclip in a cap.
To do this I use the OptiTrack_sample_VC, and I try to change the values of x,y,z that the cameras return, because I want that the point (0,0,0) will be the center of "my world", and if I go to forward z increase and decrease if I go to behind, for example. I use, for do this, matrix rotation and translation, but the values of the results aren�t correct. First multiply the values of x,y and z by the matrix of rotation and then I add the translation.

can someone help?
Any idea how to do this differently?

thanks a lot!

Hello,

It sounds like you may be using the Vector Tracking component of the OptiTrack API. Unfortunately INPVector has not been a supported interface for a couple years now.

If you are looking for a solution which is officially supported, we recommend using 3+ cameras with the our Tracking Tools software. It provides precise, robust 6DOF optical tracking,
