Hey guys

I was wondering if someone could describe how the user interface works.

We wrote a camera that uses openGL matrices so that we could input the positional information from a tracking unit.  We also wrote a Network UI to receive the tracking information and register a callback to set the matrix information in the Camera.  Unfortunately, after a new camera position is sent to manta it takes several frames before the corresponding frame is displayed. This latency is undesired.

Would it be possible to have manta only render one frame when I give it a camera position and stop until I give it another update?
