The "3dRudder" PlugIT allows to use the 3dRudder. It is a peripheral device allowing to move in the 3D environnements and in the virtual reality using your feet.

Parameters | 
    |
1 | 
      Mode used to interpret the 3dRudder orientation. Every returned value ranges between -1 and 1.  | 
    
2 | 
      Curve type used for the "Curve" and "Curve non symetrical pitch" modes :  | 
    
3 | 
      Enables the plugIT on application startup.  | 
    
Action | 
    |
Disable | 
      Disables the 3dRudder.  | 
    
Enable | 
      Enables the 3dRudder.  | 
    
Freeze | 
      Disable the 3dRudder control without the need for the user to initialize it again on re-enabling.  | 
    
Unfreeze | 
      Re-enables the 3dRudder control. The user does not need to remove its feet to initialize it again. However le initial position will be updated.  | 
    
Play sound | 
      Allows to play a sound or a sequence of tones following the syntax : (note)(octave number)((note duration),(pause after tone))  | 
    
Event | 
    |
Angles | 
      Sends the current rotation angle of the 3dRudder on the 3 axes + a normalized value for the pressure points of the 3dRudder.  | 
    
Orientation | 
      Sends the 3dRudder orientation on the 4 axes according to the selected orientation mode and curve type.  | 
    
Control | 
      Allows to take control of a navigation plugIT with the 3dRudder.  | 
    
Connected | 
      Sent when the 3dRudder is connected.  | 
    
Disconnected | 
      Sent when the 3dRudder is disconnected.  | 
    
Weight direction | 
      Sends a direction on 2 axes depending on the weight distribution on the 3dRudder.  | 
    
Status text | 
      Sends the text corresponding to the current status of the 3dRudder. Only triggers on status change.  | 
    
Status : No foot stay still | 
      Sent when the 3dRudder must be initialized. You must remove your feet from the 3dRudder.  | 
    
Status : Initialization | 
      Sent when the 3dRudder is in the initialization process. Do not put your feet on the 3dRudder during this phase.  | 
    
Status : Put your feet | 
      Sent when the initialization ended or when you remove your feet from the 3dRudder while in use. Put your feet on the 3dRudder.  | 
    
Status : Stay still | 
      Sent after you put your feet on the 3dRudder. Do jnot move for about a second to define the initial position of the 3dRudder.  | 
    
Status : In use | 
      Sent when the 3dRudder is entirely calibrated and ready to use.  |
