Introduction

 

The following are the objectives of this website:

- Describe the measurement procedure for the Intersense IS-900 in the CAVE

- Construct 3D Studio Max models of CAVE measurement points

- Provide examples of glyphs created from tracker data

 

My project for ESM4714 concerns tracker data accuracy and a method to measure it. On the pages to follow I have included the following:

- project background

- instructions for building your own tracker measuring device

- a procedure for using the device

- a model of the measuring positions (x,y,z,h,p,r)

- a model of my initial hypothesis for the virtual positions (x,y,z,h,p,r)

- images and animations of tracker data glyphs

- all due credits for completion of this project
