Did you know... RUCAP UM-5 ==RUCAP UM-5 tracker== RUCAP UM-5 tracker is a wireless joystick for view control in PyMol. The code based on project ImmersiveViz. The script, which is reproduced below, transmits data to ImmersiveViz. ImmersiveViz runs on top of PyMol and adjusts the PyMol screen view in accordance with the position of your eyes in the space in front of the monitor. Our system contains a head tracking thread which communicates the users position to a PyMol script via a socket. The PyMol script unpacks the message and updates the world respectively. All rotation is done around the virtual origin in PyMol and zoom is also considered. Operating principle Tracker RUCAP UM-5 in real time detects the absolute position and orientation of Your head relative to computer monitor. Antenna RU constantly traces the position of emitter CAP and transmits the data to RUCAP UM-5 Service program rucap.dll for further processing. Information from ultrasonic sensors is processed into concrete commands for the PyMol or ..→
