Hi Sean,<div><br></div><div>Head tracking is only enabled on the server side i.e in CAVE displays. Display configuration is tightly tied in with tracking and so the client camera ignores HeadPose value and that's the reason you don't see anything on the PVClient.</div>

<div><br></div><div>Note: Initially, that build failed so I enabled both VRPN and VRUI. Later, I wondered if this was causing problems, so I disabled VRUI again and modified the source to make it compile. I just had to add a Queue member to the pqInternals object inside the VRPN ifdef (copied from the VRUI ifdef). Let me know if I should report that as a bug, or if I'm just wrong.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Running: </div><div>I saved a state file with the cube source. I modified the state file by adding the lines below at the end, just before </Paraview>. Then I restarted Paraview, loaded the VR plugin and loaded the modified state. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Note: I could not find a ViewManager section in the state file as I expected from the howto. Also, I have not configured a pvserver to run a "CAVE" type display, I am just using the default server (localhost). I plan to configure the display geometry correctly once I know the tracking "works", i.e. does something. Is this ok?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Any help greatly appreciated.</div><div><br></div><div>Seán</div><div><br></div><div>---------- Lines added to state file ----------</div><div><br></div><div> <!--></div><div> VRPN Connections</div>
