  abstract =   "This paper describes OpenTracker, an open software
               architecture that provides a generic solution to the
               different tasks involved in tracking input devices and
               processing tracking data for virtual environments. It
               combines a highly modular design with a configuration syntax
               based on XML, thus taking full advantage of this new
               technology. OpenTracker is a first attempt towards a write
               once, track anywhere approach to virtual reality application
               development. To support these claims, integration into an
               existing augmented reality system is demonstrated. Once
               development is sufficiently mature, it is planned to make
               OpenTracker available to the public under an open source
               software license.",
