To get The Polhemus fastrak working with my Performer application, first
off I made sure the receiver box was oriented so that the +X axis is
forward and the +Z axis is down.
Then, to convert from the fastrak coordinate system to the performer
coordinate system, I did the following to the values I received:
performer_x = fastrak_y
performer_y = fastrak_x
performer_z = -fastrak_z
performer_h = -fastrak_h
performer_p = fastrak_p
performer_r = fastrak_r
hope this helps,
Troy Stephen
