You are 100% true, but we have "ARENA Full Body Mocap".

Real-time data access -> OK for "ARENA Full Body Mocap".
API type => N/A for "ARENA Full Body Mocap".(this one is really tricky). That 's the point.

So, if you intend to do realtime C++ access only, you don't need the 2000$ software package, because IT IS NOT IN IT. Just use the 299$ or the 599$ software.

:cry:

Luckily, the "Point Cloud toolkit" providing 3D positions in real time is really affordable.
