Exzcuse my lack of knowledge, but what sort of input device generates
color data? All of the sensors that I know generate 3D spatial coordinates
and hence |Transform3D is the perfect choice. . If you need something more, why
not extend the T3D class with your own extra data?
Having it return aything else could cause other problems. The principal one is
that for generic InputDevice implementations for use by Joe Public
would cause errors with the behaviour scheular where it automatically
drive head tracker movement in J3D.#
