Hi Hector,

This is probably very similar to the one Audioease are offering to drive their 
"360 pan suite" set of plug-ins

https://www.audioease.com/360/

You have to scroll down a bit to find the head tracker. The manual gives more 
info in its appendix

https://www.audioease.com/360/files/360pan-suite-3-Pro-Tools-Manual-1.0.pdf

I think you're right, the data is encoded. Max or pd may be able to decode it, 
though I can't find any note of it on the user forum. Some have used similar 
devices, and have used Arduino to descramble the data.

This is all beyond my coding abilities, especially as I haven't been able to 
find any explanation of the coding and how to derive meaningful orientation 
data from it. Obviously you have to be fairly advanced coder, who knows where 
to find the library and know how to use, it to get going. Perhaps it is only 
available to OEM developers ??

If anyone knows how to get started that could keep some of us busy. I'd love 
one of these that works with my Max patches, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Ciao,

Dave Hunt

[Sursound] Waves NX head tracker and third party applications

[Hector Centeno]

Hello,

I got a Waves NX Head Tracker [
https://www.waves.com/hardware/nx-head-tracker ] and I was wondering if
anyone here has managed to use the Bluetooth transmitted data for other
applications than the Waves ones? From what I found seems like the data
transmitted is encoded but I just wanted to double check in case someone
has found something different. I find both the Waves VST plugin and their
mobile app a bit inferior in sound quality, particularly the mobile app, so
I was wondering if I could manage to use the tracker with other
applications.

Cheers!

Hector
