NERDS - Network Enhanced Device Server
NERDS is a device server inteded for (but not limited to) use with 3D
input devices (like 3D mice, head trackers or tracked "Mikes").
Currently, the project is in Beta state. Developers are welcome to check
out CVS, and yes, we're looking for helpful hands ;-)
Supported devices are currently:
- fasttrak: Polhemus FASTRAK tracker
- sermouse: serial PC mouce
- dynasight: optical tracking system
- timedevice: a testing device that tells you current Unix time
- spacemouse: the Magellan space mouse
- controlbox: a simple multi-button box attached to the serial port
Those devices can be configured via a remote frontend. An arbitrary number
of clients can subsequently register with the server to get multicast
messages whenever a given device provides new status info (eg. a period of
time has elapsed or somebody moved the mouse).
