Resources

Reference for implementing this library are from here vrpn-rs description of VRPN protocol Unfortunately, there are some mistakes in the document, most notably it presumes that Quaternion in VRPN (quat library) are w,x,y,z - which is incorrect.

Design

Allow for a session based design - data needs to be collected per block and immediatly made available. Minimal or no internal state keeping!

• first collect names and ids of message_types and senders (stored in session)
• register listeners in session
• listeners inject captured data with signals
• keep naming "classic" ??? ... above session is a tracker with a sender with sensors

Todo

• Testset for Quaternion rotations
• Axis as subscene
• make global/local a choice
• add velocity and acceleration
• add buttons

Internal Notes
