Hi Christian,<div><br></div><div>Yes this will be a little annoying till a GUI is developed to handle this. But right now we have need to manually figure this out. </div><div><br></div><div>You need to construct your pipeline and have pv Proxy Objects in place before you can apply VR interactor styles to them.</div>
<div><br></div><div>So things like 'RenderView1.HeadPose' implies 'Proxy.Property'. The state file stores this information about what Proxies and properties are available so you could infer this info from the state file. An easier way to figure out the objects available is to use the Property Linking Tool in the GUI</div>

I understand your concern. The wiki page does document this very well. But typically the interactor styles help you choose what type of interaction you want to do. If you want head tracking use the vtkVRStyleTracking which uses tracking data 'cspad.head' and changes the property RenderView1.HeadPose (in the state file) </p>

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">
If your scene has a slice and you want to manipulate the slice then you can use vtkVRStyleGrabNTranslateSliceOrigin style. It basically takes tracker inputs and a button to change the slice origin (CutFunction.Origin). So you can press button and move the wand to move the slice plane. </p>
