We report about using sensors from a motion capturing system to control a visualization based on the WorldToolKit; connection of 3D glasses and head mounted displays with the WorldToolKit; setting up of a round projection wall for real size stereo presentations; linking of the motion capturing system sensors to the professional computer animation system Maya and morphological movement examination of jointed figures on the base of the motion capturing system. Our approach uses the motion capturing system not only for the recording of movements but also to add interactivity to applications, e.g. camera views for real size projections are controlled by motion capturing sensors as well as virtual cameras for other applications using head mounted displays (HMDs), objects in animated 3D worlds are guided by these sensors, too. All these applications are combined with 3D display possibilities. 1.
