Here are a couple things you should check. The coordinate system the
Fastrak and Performer uses are different, so be sure you perform the
conversions. The Fastrak, also needs to the hemisphere in which the
sensors operate in set correctly.

Subject: Using a polhemus with performer
Date: Tuesday, March 14, 1995 8:14PM
Hi,
I'm new to the list, but I've looked through the archives before
posting. I'm trying to create a virtual environment using
a polhemus isotrak, a VPL dataglove, and performer. I'm having
trouble using the data from the polhemus in my performer program.
I'm been trying to set the alignment frame, but the sensor on
the HMD and glove don't move correctly. Are there any gotchas
that I should be aware of in using the polhemus and performer?
I've been working on this for the better part of a week and would
appreciate any tips or pointers to example code.
Thanks in advance,
Erik Arthur
