Abstract
When building immersive virtual environments, it is necessary to track the user´s head to determine its direction of gaze, as well as other parts of the body, for example hands to allow interaction. Therefore a tracking device is needed. Trackers usually consist of a stationary part, called emitter, and one or more small movable parts, called receivers or sensors, which are mounted on the points to track and whose position and orientation can be determined by the tracking device. The Tracker Library, described in this paper, is a device driver that allows to easy configure the tracker and retrieve the position and orientation data required.Additional Files and Images
