When I run vrpn_print_devices with "Mouse0@localhost" as the argument I get correct button and analog feedback. I have read that in the VR Plugin, the address should be <span style="font-family:sans-serif;font-size:12.6999998092651px;line-height:19.0499992370605px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">"<device>@<hostname/IP>", therefore Mouse0@localhost should be correct.</span></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>RIght that is correct. </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><br></div><div>2) I am unsure of what to do for the interaction in the VR Plugin, there doesn't seem to be a lot of options available, is there some sort of example configuration you could give me as a starter? I do not have access to a tracker, is interaction achievable without one?</div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>We don't have many options. We only have two stylee: One used for the tracker and another one to use the tracker data to navigate around. </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><br></div><div>Basically I just want to be able to move the camera, or interact with an object using devices through the VRPN. I am starting with the mouse (Mouse0) because I know it works on other applications and on the VRPN, so I am assuming the trouble I am having is with my Paraview configuration. </div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Sure, What you can do is look at the TrackerStyle class. You can very easily add a new style class that can respond to mouse clicks or anything else. The current style won't work in your configuration because it needs tracker and 3 buttons for navigation. </div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div dir="ltr"><div>After I have set up simple interaction with the mouse I will move onto other devices that VRPN supports, such as the 5DT Data Gloves. And an example of the interaction I want is to be able to turn the camera left when the mouse moves left, right when it moves right, forward, backward, and to be able to grab the object on click.</div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>That would be great. I am willing to help you if you are willing to share the code and add a new class to ParaView.
