You can very easily add a new style class that can respond to mouse clicks or anything else. The current style won't work in your configuration because it needs tracker and 3 buttons for navigation. > After I have set up simple interaction with the mouse I will move onto > other devices that VRPN supports, such as the 5DT Data Gloves.

I am willing to help you if you are willing to share the code and add a new class to ParaView.
