[comp.sys.sgi] Polhemus driver

Dan Karron@UCBVAX.BERKELEY.EDU (12/17/90)

You can anon ftp a copy of my Polhemius 3space/Isotrack driver from my
machine 'karron' at the address on my signature below.

I apologize if I missed you. I am on version 1.01, which includes
a driver for direction cosines and quaternions. If anyone really wants
to pound on direction cosines and quaternions, I will speed up the
driver for these modes by doing direct binary block io. The present
drivers are ascii hacks. The code also includes a retry mode
to improve io reliability (the 3space misses at high speeds).

I will put a stereo mode in the eye vector code when I can borrow
a pair of stereo classes and a 120 HZ monitor (If I need more, let
me know know now). You should be able to give your self a real
virtual headache between the 3space and stereo stuff !
