Hello, does anyone know about direction/orientation sensors/trackers or digital compass suitable to be plugged in a Pocket PC? If there is any, are they provided with an Application Programming Interface? Thank you very much in advance and best regards. Francisco Rivas, M.Sc.

better make sure that whatever port you want to use on your Pocket PC (usb or serial) can be host and not only slave. Most PDA with USB can only be USB slave.

Good point, Yohan, Also, please be aware that the InterTrax 2 (IT2) was designed as head tracker for PC games. Therefore, it will have a tendency to drift over time but can reset with the use of a reset button. USB or serial versions are available. For more precise tracking, you may want to look into the InertiaCube 2 orientation sensor. This sensor has a serial only interface.

In theory, it does not drift, any more than a compass would drift. In practice its reasonably good: if you move it around rapidly, it may end up reporting the wrong orientation, but then slowly drifts back to the correct location. Not ideal, but much better than the InterTrax2. > > Cheers > > D. > > ___________________________________________________________ > D N David Nahon > I A O Z-A Production R&D > V H http://www.z-a.net > > 64, rue de la Folie Mericourt 75011 Paris - France > tel:+33 1 48 06 65 66 fax:+33 1 48 06 48 75 - david@z ...... > ___________________________________________________________ > > >> -----Message d'origine----- >> De : Michael Donfrancesco [mailto:mikedon@i .........] >> Envoyé : lundi 17 mars 2003 23:10 >> À : arforum@t ......... >> Objet : Re: [ARFORUM] Direction sensor for Pocket PC >> >> >> Good point, Yohan, >> >> Also, please be aware that the InterTrax 2 (IT2) was designed as head >> tracker for PC games.

Hi David, No drift at all with the IC2. It will stay within 2 degrees of the defined heading at all times. Therefore no reset button. Again, the IT2 has a reset button as it will tend to drift over time. It designed specifically as a low cost head tracker for PC games and it was never intended to be used for AR applications. We have many customers out there that use the IC2 and I would be curious to hear from them wrt performance and drift over time.
