WebGL navigator using the Cesium framework

Before cloning the repository follow the instructions to install Git LFS. This extension is used to store some quite big (trace) file inside the repo. After this preliminary procedure a normal git clone works as expected.

Install NodeJS & NPM. After that, install the dependencies running

npm install

Install the python2 requirements for the analysis scripts using pip running

pip install -r requirements.txt

The python requirements are not necessary to run the navigator app.

First start the Cesium local development HTTP server

node server.js

Then start the WebSocket server which simulates position & rotation

node ws_sender.js [interval in ms] [# of sent points] [move sent points]

or using

./scripts/ws_sender.sh

After that, go to http://localhost:8080/app/navigator.html
