Node-based Tracking Workflows

In order to use the values we received through the Tracking receiver devices in the Devices window, we need to create a Read node in one of the layers. So open a layout of one of the layers (by double clicking on it), right-click on a Layer window and choose a specific Layer reader node.

Every tracking technology is a bit different and the data they provide differs too. However, all of them provide at least Position and Orientation.

Therefore, you can always use Read Tracker node which works with all tracking technologies.

Nodes for specific tracking technologies

As most tracking technologies include specific type of format of data, each of these technologies usually have a corresponding layout node that works only with that technology.

In the subsequent pages we will go through some of them.
