Abstract :
The use of intuitive interaction in virtual reality (VR) systems is a factors that affect the sense of immersion of the users in virtual environments. Difficulties related to the incorporation of devices and their costs has motivated research using low-cost devices and high-level tools such as frameworks to development of VR applications. This paper presents the design and integration of a module for spatial tracking in a framework for development of virtual reality applications. The module provides ways to incorporate several tracking techniques and low-cost devices used to obtain the spatial position of objects.
