They contain:
1. ID number (id, starting with 0), status of the tracking (st, 0: not tracked, 1:
inertial tracking, 2: optical tracking, 3: inertial and optical tracking), current drift
error estimation (er, unit: [deg], estimate rising by 10 degree per minute when
tracking inertially)
2. Position (s
i
) and
3. Rotation matrix (b
i
) of the Body’s orientation.
All numbers are separated by spaces (hex 20). Nine values b

To avoid problems with different definitions of the angles, we recommend to only use
rotation matrices.

B.2.5 Flysticks
Identifier 6df2.
Z
Note: this format version replaces the older 6df format (see B.2.6). Use
it whenever possible.
The newer format for Flysticks is quite similar to the format of standard 6DOF bodies. It
provides tracking data for all Flysticks and other ART radio devices (see B.1.5):
• The first number after the identifier 6df2 gives the number of defined (i.e. calibrated)
Flysticks.
• The second number gives the number of Flystick data, that are following in the line.
• The data of each Flystick show up in blocks (four consecutive []), like:
