Programming a simulation of a moving hand
-
Hi everybody,
I've registered here since I'm having a few questions regarding an university project.
The goal is to display a virtual hand on the screen which is movable via a motion tracking device.
I have knowledge in C and have just started to dive into a couple of qt tutorials.
However, I'm asking myself whether this is the right approach. I'd like to not render the hand directly in qt, but rather build a 3D Model (I do have experience with CAD programs, for example) and have it movable on display by analyzing the data from my motion tracking device (the device is a Polhemus FASTRAK),
Do any of you have any tips on how to approach this project? I'd be very thankful.
I hope I'm not hurting any posting guidelines or anything. Also, English is not my first language so please excuse a certain "sloppiness".
Thanks!
Lennart

Hello,
it seems that you might not need Qt at all. Why the choice?

Well, Qt was recommended to me by a colleague. I think that qt might be an easy way to realise my project. I just watched a video on qml (http://blog.qt.digia.com/blog/2010/08/10/qml3d-demo/) and it seemed to me that this would be an appropriate approach.
Also, as soon as I have the hand on the screen I want to incorporate some buttons for further functionality, maybe in an extra window.
I am aware that you can use different languages/libraries/... for most problems, I just thought that Qt might be suitable.
Thanks for the answer!
