Dear ParaView experts,

I managed to get ParaView 5.2.0 running in our Cave. I connect a cluster of 
servers, load the VR plugin, connect VRPN and start tracking. Then I load one 
of the geometric primitives like a cube and I am glad to say that I see the 
object moving when moving the glasses, so head tracking is working in 
principle. I can move or rotate the object with a wand, and it's even moving 
and turning in the correct direction (Yippee !!).

Now here's the problem: it seems to me that I have an offset of the viewer's 
position of several meters in the positive z direction (backward). The left and 
right movements of the object on the projection wall somehow correspond to the 
movement of the head position, but they seem to belong to a much longer 
distance between viewer and object. The VR module's window is showing values 
for a camera position which is several meters from the origin of the Cave (VRPN 
will give measurements in meters), although the viewer is in fact near to the 
origin (in the middle of the Cave).

How can I avoid to add an offset to the Camera and just take plain VRPN values 
for head position?

I am not very experienced with ParaView, sorry if this should be trivial. Any 
help is welcome. Thanks in advance.
