Minimal Vive Tracker Position Example

Description

There are many libraries which get positional/rotational data from the Vive Tracker, but none that I could find which do only that.
This is a minimal working example that gets the Vive Trackers connected to SteamVR and prints the pose as 4x4 matrix.

Requirements

CMake 3.0.2
OpenVR (included as submodule)
SteamVR

Building

Only tested on Win10 x64

git clone --recurse-submodules git@github.com:jaw006/ViveTrackerPosition.git
cd ViveTrackerPosition
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. .

Example Usage

$ ./ViveTrackerPos.exe
Found valid device at index 5
Device Index: 5
Connected!
