  abstract =   "When building immersive virtual environments, it is
               necessary to track the userŽs head to determine its
               direction of gaze, as well as other parts of the body, for
               example hands to allow interaction. Therefore a tracking
               device is needed. Trackers usually consist of a stationary
               part, called emitter, and one or more small movable parts,
               called receivers or sensors, which are mounted on the points
               to track and whose position and orientation can be
               determined by the tracking device. The Tracker Library,
               described in this paper, is a device driver that allows to
               easy configure the tracker and retrieve the position and
               orientation 		  data required.",
