Using the newly available VIVE ‘puck’ controller we were able to implement and read the six degrees of freedom movement and rotation data from the VIVE system within a unique Touchdesigner environment.

This data allowed us to develop an understanding of user position, rotation and specifically where they were pointing the controller.

Translating from the real to virtual space seamlessly putting users inside, and in control of, the data completely surrounding them.

The final system allowed users to move, warp, change elevation, rotation as well as toggle different data layers and information on and off. Measure distances and take accurate topography data readings all from a single controller.
