Beg a recommendation for affordable 6DOF head tracker
« on: June 02, 2009, 10:21:26 PM »

help!I am worried to finish a vr project, but the Tracker is my pain.
(1)which 6DOF tracker is fitting for me?
I only need to track head with approximation, not very precisely.  I can only use an affordable one, but it must have the ability to give me : 3 rotational angel and positions along 3 axis.
I don't know which one is fitting for me! for example,
IS-900  or IS-1200 is 9950$ which is too expensive for me;   but Cymouse, or TrackIR are only ~100$, and wii is ~200$. They all says they are 6DOF, why the prices are such differences?
(2)can I get the Orientations and postions from the Tracker?
not all trackers provide SDKs, such as Wii has no free SDK except a very expensive (unaffordable for me) SDK.  If without SDK, can I read its parameters (Orentations and Positions) ?
(3)My another Control Device is serial port, all window communictions code need me give a parameter of HWND to recieve its message. But in OGRE, no that kind of Handle can be used.  I don't want to use OIS( because I need time to learn, i really don't know whether it can recieve my data as what you guy have guided me).

Thanks
