Controllers, headset and full body tracking emulation:

• Driver4VR - able to emulate controllers, headsets (via FreeTrack), full body tracking, keyboard and mouse, which can then be controlled through Python
  • Note: for head tracking use FreePIE (Programmable Input Emulator) to emulate FreeTrack
  • Example tutorial: 'Use Kinect to play in VR with hands etc.
