MITK-IGT supports several different tracking devices from different vendors. There are interface classes for several devices included in the MITK source code. However, we are not able to maintain all these interfaces with the same level of support. To give an overview, this page summarizes all information on the supported devices and groups them into support tiers.
Explanation: Tier 1 (Fully supported): Tested on a regular basis (for respective platforms). Documentation available. Tier 2 (Partially supported): The interface classes are in the source code, but the devices are not tested frequently. Tier 3: There was some work done, but nothing officially working or the support has been dropped.
