I worked with VIO and wrote some code to get them work with our VR LBE equipment; I have a Word Doc which was originally part of the SDK, but I remember to have found it also on their web site, about tracker and how to program it and so on. let me know if you have it already, I could mail it to you ( I suppose this went PD after a while, it was on their site ) I also have the SDK CD, but if somebody says me that it can be released now, I am not going to put that around. here is the index ----------------------------- i-glasses!
