VrpnTrackerDevice (string name)
Constructor.Arguments
- string name - Path to the device in the format device_name@server_address.
string getAccelerationCallback ()
Returns a name of the world script callback function that receives data about acceleration of tracked objects. The callback function should be defined in the world script and receive 4 arguments:- Sensor number (int)
- Linear acceleration (vec3 for the float precision version, or dvec3 for the double precision version)
- Acceleration of orientation change (an analog of angular acceleration; quat)
- Acceleration measurement time (float for the float precision version, or double for the double precision version)
Source code
(UnigineScript)
// float precision
void callback_func(int sensor,vec3 acceleration,quat acceleration_orientation,float ifps) {
// function logic
}
// double precision
void callback_func(int sensor,dvec3 acceleration,quat acceleration_orientation,double ifps) {
// function logic
}
Return value
Callback function name.string getTransformCallback ()
Returns a name of the world script callback function that receives data about position and orientation of tracked objects. The callback function should be defined in the world script and receive 3 arguments:- Sensor number (int)
- Position (vec3 for the float precision version, or dvec3 for the double precision version)
- Orientation (quat)
Source code
(UnigineScript)
// float precision
void callback_func(int sensor,vec3 acceleration,quat acceleration_orientation,float ifps) {
// function logic
}
// double precision
void callback_func(int sensor,dvec3 acceleration,quat acceleration_orientation,double ifps) {
// function logic
}
Return value
Callback function name.string getVelocityCallback ()
Returns a name of the world script callback function that receives data about velocity of tracked objects. The callback function should be defined in the world script and receive 4 arguments:- Sensor number (int)
- Linear velocity (vec3 for the float precision version, or dvec3 for the double precision version)
- Velocity of orientation change (an analog of angular velocity; quat)
- Velocity measurement time (float for the float precision version, or double for the double precision version)
Source code
(UnigineScript)
// float precision
void callback_func(int sensor,vec3 velocity,quat velocity_orientation,float ifps) {
// function logic
}
// double precision
void callback_func(int sensor,dvec3 velocity,quat velocity_orientation,double ifps) {
// function logic
}
Return value
Callback function name.void setAccelerationCallback (string name)
Sets the world script callback function that receives data about acceleration of tracked objects.Arguments
- string name - Callback function name.

// a callback function
void acceleration_callback(int sensor,vec3 acceleration,quat orientation,float ifps) {
log.message("Device sensor %d: acceleration %s, orientation %s, ifps %f\n",sensor,acceleration,orientation,ifps);
}
void setTransformCallback (string name)
Sets the world script callback function that receives data about position and orientation of tracked objects.Arguments
- string name - Callback function name.
