Created inside a TrackingSystem Icon Tracking System this object allows you to get back the datas sent by a Tracking Control Device ( Stype Tracking system or Blacktrax Device for examples).


Manual vs Auto Creation

You can manually create trackers by right-clicking on the TrackingSystem Icon Tracking System if you do not have any devices plugged into your Smode or if this Device do not send values to it.

But the best is to directly get the datas into your Smode, or use a software to simulate an entry of datas because trackers do not only receive and transmit position and orientation values

For Example, the tracking protocol of a Stype Tracking system transmit optical distortion to Smode, that can then be used by a PhysicalCamera Icon Physical Camera to fit the reality.

Examples of datas provided by a Stype Tracking system :
