First start up the tracking system:

  • Click the ART icon - this is the red triangle (ART logo) on the left panel of the left screen
    • Click “Connect” (if the "Connect" button doesn't appear follow the restart instructions)
      • A window should open
    • From the “DTrack3” menu, select “Start”
      • Tracking information should appear in the window.

Next start ParaView. Currently this is all in the folder C:\Users\Demon\ParaView - once it’s all working I’ll create some link to this from the desktop so it can be launched with a single click,

  • Double-click start_vrpn.bat
    • This is the VR server - you should see a shell window open, just ignore it
  • Double-click start_stereo.bat
    • This should start ParaView and connect it to a ParaView VR server which will display on the viz-wall
  • In ParaView:
    • In the “VR Panel”
      • Click “Restore VR State”
      • Select the file “paraview_vr_plugin_config.pvvr” from C:\Users\Demon\ParaView
      • Click the “Start” button
