[Paraview] Paraview 4.3.1, VR Plugin and VRPN

[Niklas Röber]

Hi,

I'm a little stuck. I was trying to connect our tracking system for a 
large VR wall with ParaView. The tracking runs fine with Avizo from Fei 
(using dtrack), but I wanted to use it for ParaView too. We have tracked 
glasses and a flystick for interaction. The communication of the 
tracking server via VRPN to the client PC works great, with

     vrpn_print_devices DTrack at localhost -trackerstride 100

I can see the two sensors moving and all the buttons that are pressed. 
My tracking config file for ParaView is attached. When I start the 
tracking in ParaView, I see that ParaView connects to the started 
vrpn_server, and I also see a note if the connection is dropped. But 
thats all, I don't see any interaction or changes in my viewport. Am I 
doing something totally wrong? I also tried running it as client/server 
with the same effect of not working.

Thanks for your help!
Cheers from Hamburg ...
Niklas :)
