Tracking Software
As a user’s
head
moves, turns or tilts in a virtual
environment, the computer-generated image he sees
must continually update accordingly with no
noticeable lag, jitter or distortion. If a user employs a
wand to interact with the environment, the computer
must interact in real time with the movements and
spatial orientation of the
wand
as well.
Accurate tracking of the user’s
movements and subsequent
feedback to the computer are
integral components of a
successful interaction
between the user and the
computer
.
The technology or
combination of
technologies chosen for
interaction will determine
its efficiency in a given
application. Barco has
accumulated considerable
experience with the various
interactive devices and
tracking technologies and can
insure a superior performance
and a "seamless" integration of the
tracking system into a given interactive
display system.
For the accurate and efficient calibration of ultrasonic
tracking devices, Barco has developed its "iW
IZARD
"
software. In combination with integrated marking
hardware, this software is used to configure the
position and orientation of each transmitter
.
For reconfigurable systems such as the B
ARCO
M
O
VE™
different setups can be activated by a single button
click. The software is available on
Unix
as well as on
Windows platforms
.
