I have given away sample code for the Polhemus Fast-trac tracker, with RS-232
interface. This code has been used successfully by about 100 different
integrators and is available in the public domain (e-mail me if problems
getting a hold of a copy). Other tracker vendors supply their own drivers for
SGI workstations, (I don't know why Polhemus does not!). I don't feel too
comfortable endorsing or ragging on 3rd party V.R. equipment, but would really
recommend that you get your local SGI office to get you a copy of "the SGI
virtual Reality CD", this has loads of info on VR stuff in it, including
addresses of most equipment suppliers, slides, documentation, etc.
