Arduino Support in Vizard
By Jeff Loomis and Sado Rabaudi
Arduino uses its own language which is similar to C++. Instead, Python can be used and the easiest way to do that is having the board and Python communicate with the Firmata protocol. pyfirmata installs directly in the package manager. There's a lot of information on working with Arduino in this article:

Use the following steps to use Arduino with Vizard:
Vivetracker Setup in Vizard
With the use of the HTC Vivetrackers you can easily setup full body tracking in Vizard. Now fully integrated in Vizard 6.
For adding the trackers, you will also need some straps to hold the trackers on, such as these.
Manus VR Prime 2 Gloves Setup
For more information on using the Manus VR Gloves with Vizard, see the following Vizard documentation page
For more information on the Manus VR data gloves visit their website at https://www.manus-vr.com/
To access the latest version of Manus Core (the software needed for running the Manus gloves) sign up and login to the Manus resource center here

Vizconnect files:
Manus gloves with Vivetrackers and articulated glove models
(this is a default setup that is most commonly used)
Note that at times the offset may need to be changed for the hand. This is usually the “pre pitch” and might need to be set to “90” or “0”. This can be accessed by opening the vizconnect file, clicking on “go directly to advanced options”, then on the “trackers” tab clicking on the “offsets” button
