Contributions summary:Xavier implemented a new head tracking system using the Intel RealSense SDK, integrating it as a tracking option within the existing opentrack software. This involved creating a separate module utilizing C++ and Intel RealSense SDK libraries, including configuration and pose data retrieval. They also added and refined the GUI elements of the RealSense tracker, by refactoring to remove the need for a separate process and TCP socket for communication. Furthermore, the user updated the SDK to newer versions.
