This is a parallel project running alongside the C# implementation of the Manus VR hand set, which can be found here. This API aims to be as efficient as possible while combining the data collected from the Manus VR devices and stringing them together into a data structure that's more sensible than what the Manus VR SDK provides at present (Manus VR SDK in use: v1.1.1). The API can work with one or two hands simultaneously connected to the computer.
Manus VR SDK V1.1.1
Visual Studio 2017 or C++ compatible IDE
Load the solution file for the program. Compile the program with your required needs and then run as needed.
Note: The ManusVR SDK library folder has to be located within the program's properties if you have it or localted in a folder next to the source files. Ex:
//(C++ API)/Source
//Libs/Manus
This API was OOP designed with the use of the header-only SDK provided by Manus. The program is split into 4 header and implementation files as stated below:
- Finger.cpp/h A finger class for each manus hand. Contains data relating to raw, quaternion/vector data, and Manus Profile data.
- Manus_hand_obj.cpp/h The representation of the Manus VR hand itself. Contains arrays of finger data, positional, and wrist data
- Manus_interpreter.cpp/h Concerns itself with reading in the data collected from the SDK and turning it into data structure using one of the previous data formats.
- ManusHandConverter.cpp/h A breif example program that utilizes the data collected and outputs to a command prompt. The Main loop contains a couple of already filled-in implementations for your convenience.
In addition, there is a previous implementation by Megan Zimmerman that utilized the SDK previously.
