Hi Alessandro, If the 3DVisor SDK provides the position and attitude of the camera you should be be to just compute the view matrix of the master camera and assign this per frame, and not assign a custom CameraManipulator at all. If you want to toggle between manipulators or add event handling to your head mount display controls then write a custom CameraManipulator would be the way to go. The TracballManipulator is not a bad place to start.
