Installing the software

Sure, the SDK can be downloaded freely from:

 https://www.vicon.com/downloads/

 It’s the Datastream SDK you need to download, which installs to:C:\Program Files\Vicon\DataStream SDK

 Under there, you’ll find the user manual as well as some example code for C++, .NET, Python and MATLAB. 

We do have a virtual system option that allows you to simulate real-time data without having installed cameras. This would require a trial licence for our Vicon Tracker software, which we could organise if you’d like to test an integration. 

Meanwhile, I’ve personally used the SDK many times, so I could answer any questions you may have regarding integration.

Getting a license

Using the simulation

Current simulation files are under

• D:\Dropbox\C-Tech\Devices\Vicon\Simulation Data
• D:\Dropbox\C-Tech\Devices\Vicon\Testing

2 files are required:

• .x2d : the actual simulation
• .mcp : the camera calibration

Setting the calibration

Starting the simulation

You need the Vicon Virtual System for this and specify the path to the Camera Data File and click Stream
