Hi Sean, By the way, I may have found a bug / feature. It seems like I have to specify the eye separation value in mm, even though I have transformed my tracker units to metres in the state file. Perhaps this is another mistake in my configuration though. Please let me know if that's the

Hi Aashish, Thanks for your comments. To my knowledge, there is no reason why the eye separation must be specified in the same units as the raw tracking data. Paraview never uses my tracking data in its raw state. The tracking data is transformed to my chosen world coordinates before it is used

Hi Aashish, In my case, my tracker data is in mm but my chosen world coordinates are in meters, so I transformed the tracking data to meters and I expect the eye separation to be defined in meters too. It is. If you transform your tracker data, then you would have to adjust your eye

Hi Nikhil, I have made the appropriate transformation to my tracking data, as you suggested. The display is now responding to the motion of the tracking targets. However, it is not responding to the rotation of the targets. I believe this might be happening because the tracking server is showing

Thanks Nikhil. I guess I'll troubleshoot the connection first and then worry about the number of sensors. It's possible that Paraview is just dropping the connection due to an incorrect number of sensors though, or some other issue with the data received. I'll report back with any findings.

Hi, I'm trying to use paraview's VRPN functionality for head tracking. I've compiled Paraview 3.14.1 on linux (64) and I have one stereo screen. I'm using a Windows tracking server with IOTracker hardware / software. What works: Stereoscopic rendering (I use the cube source as a test).

Hello Seán, 1. When you use PV under Windows with head tracking, you should use always VRPN. 2. Head tracking only works with a pvserver environment. Therefore you have to define a Server configuration file with proper display parameters (read more
