OpenTracker v2.0 - An Open Software Framework for Virtual Reality Input

Lab project in the area of Virtual and Augmented Reality.

Keywords: Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, Tracking, 3D Interaction, ARTiFICe.

About this Project

OpenTracker was originally developed in 2002/2003 @ IMS (see OpenTracker project page @ TU Graz) to be generic solution to the different tasks involved in tracking input devices and processing tracking data for virtual environments. It provides an open software architecture based on a highly modular design and a configuration syntax based on XML, thus taking full advantage of this new technology. OpenTracker was a first attempt towards a "write once, track anywhere" approach to virtual reality application development.

In OpenTracker 2.0, we integrate new tracking devices and did house cleaning in the origin source code.
