Home < Creating your own application

After NaviTrack is compiled, you will find an application middleware in your NaviTrack-build/bin directory. In most cases, you can just use middleware to pull data from a tracking device, broadcast the tracking data to network, and also receive data from the same network.
If you need to build your own application, follow these steps:
- Look at NaviTrack/src/standalones/middleware.cxx
- Modify the source code as needed
- Re-build
